There are various problems in your code (for example the TaskForm is not needed at all) however if you change the line

id = int(request.POST.get('task.id'))

to

id = int(request.POST.get('task_id'))

the object will probably be deleted; remember that the request parameter's name will be the same as the name of the input (task_id). I recommend using proper CBVs (a DeleteView) for what you want to do - if you want a slow and comprehensive tutorial on that I recommend this article: https://spapas.github.io/2018/03/19/comprehensive-django-cbv-guide/
