Please format your code by putting 3 backticks ``` on a line before and after each code block
Never delete using a GET request. You should post a form. Your route needs to be Route::delete

How to delete laravel form using get method
Hello Guys! I'm just a laravel beginner and I would love your answers to be more clarified. I used delete method to delete a post on laravel framework but it threw an error saying, "Delete method not Supported" so I decided to use GET method and it threw no errors. Not withstanding, the issue is that it redirects without deleting anything not even showing message. This is my block of code executed below:
blade.php file
'''
{{ method_field('GET') }} {{ csrf_field() }} {{ trans('Delete') }} '''controller
''' public function destroy($id) { dd($id); $student = Student::where('id',$id)->delete();
return redirect('/data/{id}')->with('success', 'Data Deleted');
}
'''
route
''' Route::get('/data/{id}', 'App\Http\Controllers\StudentController@destroy'); '''
I joined laracast newly because I've seen that your questions and answers has really been of great help to me so I strongly believe that your responses would give me exactly what I'm looking for. Please I really need you guys help this has kept me on deck for 1 week now I seriously need solutions as fast as possible. Thank you.

To delete a database entry you need to use "DELETE" request method rather than "GET" or "POST". e.g.:
Route::delete('users/{user}', 'UserController@destroy');
In your form, you need to set the form's "method" to "delete" but forms do not have a "delete" method available so you have to spoof it. So, in your form just add:
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="DELETE">
Or as a shortcut, just add the blade directive:
@method('DELETE')
instead.
See: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/routing#form-method-spoofing

With this I think it's more clearer when I changed {{ method_field('GET') }} to {{ method_field('DELETE') }} it threw that error I was talking of. Please I know I'm really stressing you guys but let's try and see how we can improve on our responses
Level 102
Your route is wrong.. It should be delete!
Route::delete('/data/{id}', 'App\Http\Controllers\StudentController@destroy');
Level 1
I tried It now redirects without deleting anything and I don't know why
Level 102
Do you still have the dd($id) in there? If not, add it back and see if it gets triggered. And are you certain that you still have {{ method_field('DELETE') }} ?
Level 1
I just changed method field to 'DELETE' then, it threw an error: The DELETE method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: GET, HEAD, PATCH.
Level 102
Can you show your current code please?

How far? Have you been able to come up with something?

Watch this series https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-6-from-scratch it's for free.
You really need it.
Level 1
OK, Thanks.
Level 75
And I recommend to you use named routes. But in your case iit should be
<form method="post" class="delete_form" action="/data/{{ $row['id'] }}" id="studentForm_{{ $row['id'] }}">
Level 54
@michaloravec I think you are missing a forward slash:
action="/data/{{ $row['id'] }}"
