Check when a query was successful

How would I check this query was successfully executed:

 DB::table('private_messages')->whereIn('id', $remove_ids[0])->delete();

Level 104

It will return a number of records deleted.

Level 1

would I do something like if (!delete()) ?

It depends...

You could do something like the following, or assign the result to a variable;

if (DB::table('private_messages')->whereIn('id', $remove_ids[0])->delete()) {
    // more than 0 records were deleted
}
