Subject: How to close or kill *messages* window by using elisp script

The doc-string of 'quit-window' says


(quit-window &optional KILL WINDOW)

Quit WINDOW and bury its buffer.
WINDOW must be a live window and defaults to the selected one.


but *Messages* is a string most likely denoting a buffer.  Try
running

(let ((window (get-buffer-window "*Messages*")))
   (when (window-live-p window)
     (quit-window nil window)))

instead.
