I've learned a rather succinct way to delete tagged cells using NotebookLocate, but I would prefer the notebook did not scroll to the selection just for a delete operation. How can I delete tagged cells without the notebook scrolling?

Minimal example:

CellPrint[ExpressionCell[x^2, CellTags -> "oldcell"]]; Button["Remove old cell", { NotebookLocate["oldcell"]; NotebookDelete[]; }]

Another idea is to use Cells to find the cells instead of NotebookFind:

Button[ "Remove old cell", NotebookDelete @ Cells[CellTags -> "oldcell"] ]
