Django multiple delete does not work

I have the following delete method, this works when deleting just 1 record individually but not when deleting multiple ones in the admin i.e. via list view, why and how to fix? 

def delete(self, *args, **kwargs):

        this = Profile.objects.get(id=self.id)
        this.image.delete(save=True)

        super(Profile, self).delete(*args, **kwargs)

The Django docs actually mention your exact situation with the admin action: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/actions/

Alternatively, you could look into overriding the default Manager and QuerySet models, if you want to use Model.objects.delete elsewhere.

I recommend using signals to delete your related image, check out the pre_delete signal in the documentation.
