Introduction

Filament includes an action that is able to delete Eloquent records. When the trigger button is clicked, a modal asks the user for confirmation. You may use it like so: 
use Filament\Actions\DeleteAction;

DeleteAction::make()
Or if you want to add it as a table bulk action, so that the user can choose which rows to delete, use Filament\Actions\DeleteBulkAction: 
use Filament\Actions\DeleteBulkAction;
use Filament\Tables\Table;

public function table(Table $table): Table
{
    return $table
        ->toolbarActions([
            DeleteBulkAction::make(),
        ]);
}

​
Redirecting after deleting

You may set up a custom redirect when the record is deleted using the successRedirectUrl() method: 
use Filament\Actions\DeleteAction;

DeleteAction::make()
    ->successRedirectUrl(route('posts.list'))
As well as $record, the successRedirectUrl() function can inject various utilities as parameters.

Customizing the delete notification

When the record is successfully deleted, a notification is dispatched to the user, which indicates the success of their action. To customize the title of this notification, use the successNotificationTitle() method: 
use Filament\Actions\DeleteAction;

DeleteAction::make()
    ->successNotificationTitle('User deleted')
As well as allowing a static value, the successNotificationTitle() method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

Improving the performance of delete bulk actions

By default, the DeleteBulkAction will load all Eloquent records into memory, before looping over them and deleting them one by one. If you are deleting a large number of records, you may want to use the chunkSelectedRecords() method to fetch a smaller number of records at a time. This will reduce the memory usage of your application: 
use Filament\Actions\DeleteBulkAction;

DeleteBulkAction::make()
    ->chunkSelectedRecords(250)
Filament loads Eloquent records into memory before deleting them for two reasons:
  • To allow individual records in the collection to be authorized with a model policy before deletion (using authorizeIndividualRecords('delete'), for example).
  • To ensure that model events are run when deleting records, such as the deleting and deleted events in a model observer.
If you do not require individual record policy authorization and model events, you can use the fetchSelectedRecords(false) method, which will not fetch the records into memory before deleting them, and instead will delete them in a single query: 
use Filament\Actions\DeleteBulkAction;

DeleteBulkAction::make()
    ->fetchSelectedRecords(false)
