Delete image in Django

I have to delete image from my app. Image has to be deleted from "media" file (directory inside my project) and from database. Here is my class DeleteImage

class DeleteImage(DeleteView):
    template_name = 'layout/delete_photo.html'
    model = Profile
    success_url = reverse_lazy('git_project:add_photo')

This is HTML page

{% extends 'layout/base.html' %}
{% block body %}
{% if allprofiles %}
<ul>
{% for profile in allprofiles %}
    <li>
        <img src="/{{ profile.image }}" height="75" />
        <a href="{% url 'git_project:delete_photo' user.profile.id %}">Delete</a>
    </li>
</ul>
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}

I don't know if you need models.py

class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    image = models.FileField()

Can anyone help me with this? I saw all similar Questions and Answers but can't figure this issue out... :)

This is the answer that works in my case. :)

def delete(self, *args, **kwargs):
    # You have to prepare what you need before delete the model
    storage, path = self.image.storage, self.image.path
    # Delete the model before the file
    super(Profile, self).delete(*args, **kwargs)
    # Delete the file after the model
    storage.delete(path)

It has to be added in Profile class in model.py.

Hope, it will be helpfull! :)
