can't delete item from database in django view

i created a view to delete an object through a template but it seems im missing something i cant quite put together 

def product_delete_view(request, id):
    obj = get_object_or_404(Product, id=id)
    if request.method == "POST":
        obj.delete()
        return redirect('../../')
    context = {
        "obj": obj
    }
    return render(request, "products/product_delete.html", context)

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path

from pages.views import home_view, contact_view, about_view, social_view, services_view
#from products.views import product_detail_view, product_create_view, render_intial_data
from products.views import render_intial_data, dynamic_lookup_view, product_delete_view

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', home_view, name='home'),
    path('contact/', contact_view, name='contact'),
    path('about/', about_view, name='about'),
    path('services/', services_view, name='services'),
    path('social/', social_view, name='social'),
    #path('product/detail', product_detail_view, name='pdtDetail'),
    #path('product/create', product_create_view, name='pdtCreate')
    path('product/create', render_intial_data, name='pdtCreate'),
    path('product/<int:id>', dynamic_lookup_view, name="pdt"),
    path('product/<int:id>/delete', product_delete_view, name='pdtDelete')
]

{% extends 'base.html' %} {% block content %}

<form action="." method="POST">
  {% csrf_token %}
  <h1>Do you want to delete the product "{{ obj.title }}"</h1>
  <p><input type="submit" value="Yes" /> <a href="../">Cancel</a></p>
</form>

{% endblock %}

when i try to delete object is not removed from the database table it redirects to the page as though the object has been deleted yet it is still existent in the database

your problem seems here 

    path('product/<int:id>/delete', product_delete_view, name='pdtDelete')

you had left that url without closing with /. just do this

    path('product/<int:id>/delete/', product_delete_view, name='pdtDelete')

In your urls.py there is something like this product/<int:id>/delete and you are typing produck/4/ in your browser. use this http://127.0.0.1:8000/product/4/delete and use '/' at last like this http://127.0.0.1:8000/product/4/delete/

Your patterns doesn't ending with slash. Try to add ending slash to it:

path('product/create/', render_intial_data, name='pdtCreate'),
path('product/<int:id>/', dynamic_lookup_view, name="pdt"),
path('product/<int:id>/delete/', product_delete_view, name='pdtDelete')
