In my Ruby on Rails application I have the destroy method in films\_controller:

```
before_action :set_film, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]

def destroy
    @film = Film.find(params[:id])
    @film.destroy
    redirect_to films_path
end

```

Which is getting the params from film\_params in films\_controller:

```
private

def film_params
    params.require(:film).permit(:title, :synopsis, :length, :director, :cast1, :cast2, :cast3, :release_date, :warnings, :certificate)
end

def set_film
  @film = Film.find(params[:id])
end

```

And I am calling this method in my index.html.erb page:

```
<%= link_to 'Destroy', film_path(film), method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %>

```

But whenever I click the "Destroy" button it sends me to the **show.html.erb** page, which is as follows:

```
<div id='wrapper'>
<div id="contentWrapper">
     <div id="content">
         <div class='film'>
            <div class='large_panel film'>

                        <%= @film.certificate.age_rating %>
                    <% end %>

And my **routes.rb**:

```
Rails.application.routes.draw do
    get 'films/index'

    resources :films
    resources :showings
    root 'films#index'
end

```

Output from running rake routes:

Can someone please show me what I am doing wrong? I have followed the [guidelines](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html) exactly but cannot get the delete to work. Can someone please help, this still isn't working.
