I am trying to delete a document by clicking on a checkbox, i am able to get its id but i am not able to delete it by use of function FindByIdAndRemove()

app.post("/delete", function(req, res){
  const checkedItemId = req.body.checkbox

  Item.findByIdAndRemove(checkedItemId, function(err){
    if(!err){
      console.log("Successfully deleted")
    } else{
      console.log(err)
    }
  })
  
})

Is there an extra space in the string value after the `3` character? What if you `.trim()` the string? – user20042973 Nov 13 '22 at 14:53
