Im testing things and so I create wallets and delete them. Wallets are created inside their own folders. Well I deleted the folder of a wallet I didn't need, and now everytime I open bitcoin-qt it says:

Warning: Skipping -wallet path that doesn't exist. Failed to load database path '/home/user/.bitcoin/wallet_name'. Path does not exist.


It's good that it prompts you of that, but I don't need this to be prompted forever, I deleted the wallet myself, so I don't want warnings for each wallet I remove, so how do I stop this message?

I 've followed the same process, but instead of deleting the wallet directory straight ahead, I clicked on "File -> Close Wallet..." from the menu. Then I deleted the directory and it didn't bother me with a warning.
Are you running a pruned node?

Backup and edit ~/.bitcoin/settings.json (after closing Bitcoin Core).
