Button to delete user not working , Rails

I am building a simple admin page and I can't get a button to delete the user from the record and refresh the page. Confusingly, the button will make a POST request instead of a DELETE request so my "toggle_admin" function will trigger in my controller instead. I have the route set up correctly to handle a delete request so I am stumped.

index.html.erb

<th><%= button_to "Toggle", :method=> :post, params: {user_id: user.id}  %></th>
<th><%= button_to "Destroy", :method=> :delete, params: {user_id: user.id} %></th>

pages_controller.rb

  def toggle_admin()
    selected = User.find(params[:user_id])
    puts selected
    selected.admin = !selected.admin
    selected.save
    redirect_to "/pages/admin"
    flash[:success] = "User admin rights sucessfully toggled"
  end



 def destroy
    selected = User.find(params[:user_id])
    selected.destroy
    redirect_to "/pages/admin"
  end

routes.rb

 get '/pages/admin', to: "pages#index"
 post '/pages/admin', to: "pages#toggle_admin"
 delete '/pages/admin', to: "pages#destroy"

Console (When clicking the button to destroy)

    Started POST "/pages/admin?id=1&method=delete" for #### at 2022-09-19 14:55:06 -0700
    Processing by PagesController#toggle_admin as TURBO_STREAM
    Parameters: {"authenticity_token"=>"[FILTERED]", "id"=>"1", "method"=>"delete"}
    Completed 404 Not Found in 1ms (ActiveRecord: 0.0ms | Allocations: 933)

To solve:

I needed to change the route to

delete '/pages/admin', to: "pages#destroy", :as => :user

And the button to:

<th><%= button_to "Destroy", user, :method => :delete, params: {user_id: user.id} %></th>
