Is it ever possible to delete a URL path : Django

I had in my urls.py file, url patterns for certain data processing requirements and later I realized that from among a bunch of them, one was not intended as its requirement had ceased.

However, when I am trying to delete the particular line (the second pattern in the excerpt of the urls.py reproduced here), I am getting the following error at page load ('holding_list'):

NoReverseMatch at /supp/holding_comp/

Reverse for 'holding_change' not found. 'holding_change' is not a valid view function or pattern name.

I have checked all the references (I think) wherever the path might have been referred to (including the related template).

urls.py

    path('supp/holding_comp/', views.HoldingListView.as_view(), name='holding_list'),
...
...
    path('supp/holding_comp/edit/<int:pk>/', views.HoldingUpdateView.as_view(), name='holding_change'),

How do I delete the second url pattern (the one for "edit" view)?

I tried to look for a similar query but failed to (may be for want of a suitable search string). Any clue will be appreciated.

Short answer: there are still things referring to the path, and you should find a way to remove these.

This error means that a template, in this case the template rendered by the 'holding_list' view, contains a {% url ... %} template tag that refers to that path(..).

You thus should search in the template for {% url 'holding_change' ... %} patterns, and decide what to do with links that refer to that path.

Note that this might not be sufficient: in order to be safe, you should search all templates and all Python files for {% url ... %} template tags, redirect(..)s, reverse(..)s, etc. You probably best search for holding_change, and thus look what might still refer to that URL.
