Search for Files and clear line after results

Hi,

this is a little strange, i have the following code:

Code:
if [ -d /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/ ]
then
echo -e "psa/admin/sbin present                 [\033[31mYES\033[0m]"

which shows if a directory is present, but what I would like it to do is show the line and then remove its self and show the rest of the script... no idea what to look for. tried a search but got no where.
