Mongoose/Mongodb getting .deleteOne is not a function - reactjs

Question

When I click to delete a post, my console is saying TypeError: post.user.posts.deleteOne is not a function. It giving me this error after deleting.
const post = await Post.findByIdAndDelete(id).populate('user'); This code I am deleting the post from Post Schema
await post.user.posts.deleteOne(post)This code is to delete the post from the User Schema. I populated user and assigned it to post and then delete the user's post from this code, but I'm getting the error here.
Below is the controller code
export const deletePost = async (req, res) => {
const { id } = req.params;
try {
const post = await Post.findByIdAndDelete(id).populate('user');
await post.user.posts.deleteOne(post)
if (!post) {
return res.status(500).json({ message: "Unable To Delete" })
}
res.status(200).json({ message: "Deleted Successfully" })
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}
Client side delete request
const handleDeleteTrue = async () => {
try {
const { data } = await api.delete(`/post/${id}`)
console.log(data)
window.location.reload();
} catch (error) {
console.log(error.response.data.message);
}
};
User model schema
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
username: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
unqie: true
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true,
minlength: 6
},
posts: [{ type: mongoose.Types.ObjectId, ref: "Post", required: true }]
});
export default mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
Im able to delete the post from the post model schema, but in this pic, which shows the user model schema, that same post that was deleted is not deleted here. This is the problem Im trying to solve.

Answer 1

What I can seem to understand in your function below is that you're trying to delete a single post and also checking if post exists first
export const deletePost = async (req, res) => {
const { id } = req.params;
try {
const post = await Post.findByIdAndDelete(id).populate('user');
await post.user.posts.deleteOne(post)
if (!post) {
return res.status(500).json({ message: "Unable To Delete" })
}
res.status(200).json({ message: "Deleted Successfully" })
catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}
I'd suggest you try this
export const deletePost = async (req, res) => {
const { id } = req.params;
try {
//check if document exists in mongoDB collection
if (!mongoose.Types.ObjectId.isValid(id)) {
return res.status(500).json({ message: "Unable To Delete" }) }
await Post.deleteOne(id)
res.status(200).json({ message: "Deleted Successfully" })
catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}

I found out the answer. My user model schema for post was an array so I had to use $pull to delete it.
This is the code that worked for me
await post.user.posts.pull(post)
await post.user.save()

You can't use findOneAndDelete on populate to delete one object from an array. it doesn't work that way. Use This Instead.
const result = await User.findOneAndUpdate(
{ _id: Id },
{ $pull: { post:PostId } },
{ new: true }
);
