You can get the window with `get-buffer-window-list' (a list cause there
can be more than one of course).
[ Dunno how your workflow is, but you might also like "winner.el" which
allows to go back in window config history (`winner-undo',
`winner-redo'). ]
Regards,
Michael.

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.

Excuse me for asking, but why would anyone want
to kill *Messages*?
It will just reappear with the next message,
which should be like instantly!
If you close it all the time, and having it
appear all the time might even imply a small
but still overhead penalty...
So why do it?
