[Django]-Django object deletion does not work

✅

The queryset delete method (e.g. File.objects.filter(...).delete()) returns a tuple.

When you delete an instance (e.g. instance.delete()) it returns None.

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘when I check the file list, no file is gone’. Note that when you delete a model instance, it will remove the row from the database. If the model has a FileField, it won’t automatically delete the associated file.

I had a similar problem (that’s how I found this), and I think if you simply put a ‘/’ in the end of the URL for delete, it should work. At least thats what worked with me.

...
    url(r'^(?P<slug>[\w-]+)/(?P<pk>\d+)/delete/<<<<$', views.file_delete, name="file_delete"),
    ]
