Set screenshots to automatically save to photos and then delete

Is it possible to set my screenshots to automatically delete after saving to photos? Once I click 'save to photos', I am unable to click on the trash can, and I am stuck with an unwanted screenshot on my desktop.

Press Command-Shift-5, click Options and set the screenshots to open with Preview.

Then when you take a screenshot, Preview opens with that screenshot and you can share to Photos. Close and don't save.
