findByIdAndRemove not working when using body-parser

Question

app.post("/delete", (req, res) => {
  const deleteItem = req.body.checkbox;
  Item.findByIdAndRemove(deleteItem, (err) => {
    if (!err) console.log("deleted succesfully");
    else console.log(err);
  });
  res.redirect("/");
});

here deleteItem returns string when console logging, but when I try to deleteItem I get the following error

MongooseError [CastError]: Cast to ObjectId failed for value "61861e5c0bb4650c066f9e60 " at path "_id" for model "Item"

Answer 1

If you check the exception stack trace:

Cast to ObjectId failed for value "61861e5c0bb4650c066f9e60 "

You have an extra space at the end of the ID. Probably this is the issue, because the argument passed as ObjectID must be a string of 12 bytes or a string of 24 hex characters. In this case it is 25 characters.
