Usually the delete action comes with a confirmation box. User wouldn't accidentally remove the item, so I prefer:

1) i will delete that item permanently from database using delete query

Its better to change the status "false", because deleting data from database means loose the details or records, so better to update the status. If you have data into your database you can use it for future by just updating the status.

For example,

you add an item to your cart, then you want to remove it, if you again want to add this item into your cart you have to just update the status active, instead of insert same record again int the row. so its better to just update the status as per your required.

I would remove record from DB unless you need it later for some logic/statistics/recommendations.
Keep your code and logic simple as much as possible.
