To delete a product in Django, you will need to perform the following steps:

  1. Create a view function to handle the delete request, which will take the product id as a parameter.

  2. Retrieve the product from the database using the id.

  3. Check if the product exists or not. If it does not, return a 404 error.

  4. If the product exists, delete it using the delete() method.

  5. After deleting the product, redirect the user to a success page.

Here's an example code snippet:

from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404, redirect
from myapp.models import Product

def delete_product(request, product_id):
    product = get_object_or_404(Product, id=product_id)

    if request.method == 'POST':
        product.delete()
        return redirect('success-page')

    return render(request, 'delete_product.html', {'product': product})

In this example, we create a view function named delete_product() that takes a product_id parameter. We use the get_object_or_404() shortcut function to retrieve the product from the database or return a 404 error if it does not exist.

Then, we check the request method in the view function to determine if this is a request to delete the product. If it is, we call the delete() method on the product object, which removes it from the database.

Finally, we redirect the user to a success page after deleting the product. If this is not a DELETE request, we render a confirmation page with a form to ensure that the user intended to delete the product.
