Can't get destroy to work in rails

Fairly new to rails and can't seem to get this simple destroy action working. All it does is redirect to the mod panel index page and doesn't destroy the record. Do I need to call .destroy in the destroy method? or is there something I'm missing?

mod_approval controller

def index
    @guide          = Guide.friendly.find(params[:guide_id])
    @check_category = CheckCategory.where(guide_id: @guide.id).all
    @category       = Guide.friendly.find(@guide.id).categories.new
end

def destroy
    redirect_to guide_mod_panel_mod_approval_index_path(@guide)
end

config/routes.rb

match '/guides/:guide_id/mod-panel/approve/reject' => 'mod_approval#destroy', :via => :delete, as: :guide_mod_panel_approve_destroy

index.html.erb

 <% @check_category.each do |category| %>
    <%= link_to "Reject", guide_mod_panel_approve_destroy_path(@guide, category), method: :delete, data: {confirm: "You sure?"} %><br>
 <% end %>

You need to fetch the record from the database, then you can call destroy on the object, you can do this

def destroy
  guide = Guide.find(params[:guide_id])
  category = guide.categories.find(params[:id])
  category.destroy
  redirect_to guide_mod_panel_mod_approval_index_path(guide) 
end

Hope that helps!

You should have to destroy object before:

def destroy
 @destroyed_object.destroy # or Model.destroy(params[:id])
 redirect_to guide_mod_panel_mod_approval_index_path(@guide)
end
