Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Not here page opens after deleting the report

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are not handling backToRoute for deleteReport case like we did with deleteExpense here

App/src/components/MoneyReportHeader.tsx

Lines 1142 to 1146 in 3cb2fe3

	Navigation.goBack(route.params?.backTo);
	// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-deprecated
	InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions(() => {
	deleteAppReport(moneyRequestReport?.reportID);
	});

App/src/components/MoneyReportHeader.tsx

Lines 1264 to 1265 in 3cb2fe3

	const backToRoute = route.params?.backTo ?? (chatReport?.reportID ? ROUTES.REPORT_WITH_ID.getRoute(chatReport.reportID) : undefined);
	Navigation.goBack(backToRoute);

=> Navigation.goBack(route.params?.backTo) is called => the navigation just pops the current screen from the stack because route.params?.backTo is undefined => the user navigated to the Reports tab => page not found is displayed because (report is deleted)

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should handle backToRoute for deleteReport like we did with deleteExpense in MoneyReportHeader

    const backToRoute = route.params?.backTo ?? (chatReport?.reportID ? ROUTES.REPORT_WITH_ID.getRoute(chatReport.reportID) : undefined);
    Navigation.goBack(backToRoute);

App/src/components/MoneyReportHeader.tsx

Line 1142 in 3cb2fe3

Navigation.goBack(route.params?.backTo);

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)
