CastError: in mongoose

app.post("/delete", function (req, res) {
    const checkedId = (req.body.checkBox);
    console.log(checkedId);

    Item.findByIdAndRemove(checkedId, function (err) {
        if (!err) {
            console.log("Successfully deleted");
            redirect("/");
        }
    })
})

I don't know what is wrong with this code but I am getting this error,

CastError: Cast to ObjectId failed for value "63aae09d2679f102298b87b0 " (type string) at path "_id" for model "Item"

Seams that your entry has an extra space in the end: 63aae09d2679f102298b87b0 .

Try to trim the entry before sending it to the function.
