Deleting

Deleting an object is as straightforward as creating or updating one. You simply define the object to delete and then call the delete() method.

For example, let's create a test author for deletion:

python
Скопіювати код
author4 = Author.objects.create(first_name="TestName", last_name="TestName")

Note

The save() method isn't necessary here as create() already saves the object.

Now, our table has a new instance, and Author.objects.all() will show information about four authors.

The most common approach to delete is to retrieve the instance by its ID and then delete it:

python
Скопіювати код
Author.objects.get(id=4).delete()

No need to save the changes after deletion.
