How to perform a delete operation on a Model

Question

Talking about User::find(1)->delete(); to delete a user but where to you put that and run in? Is there a console to perform a delete task in? I would like to know how to delete a user without dropping the table. I do not want to soft delete.

Hello @kartik,

You can put this code for example in controller.

You can use

$user = User::find($id);    
$user->delete();

if you don't use SoftDeletingTrait trait or

$user = User::find($id);    
$user->forceDelete();

if you do, and you want to really remove user from database, not just hide it from results.

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!!
