Soft delete on table - laravel

Question

I just started using soft delete and I am not really sure how to do it, I am just following someone example and is still unsure how to do a proper soft delete. All I want is to delete the personal_info table but I keep on getting a no error message which make me at lost since I don't know what I am doing wrong, can someone help me? Thanks a lot
home.blade.php
<table class="table table-bordered">
<tr>
<th><strong><big>Name: </big></strong></th>
<th><strong><big>Action </big></strong></th>
</tr>
<td>
<tr>
#foreach($data as $value)
<tr>
<th>{{$value->Name}}</th>
<th><form action="{{ url('/home/'.$value->id.'/delete') }}" method="post">
<button>Delete</button>
</form></th>
</tr>
#endforeach
</tr>
</tr>
</table>
Controller:
public function delete($id = 0){
if ($id > 0){
personal_info::destroy($id);
}
return redirect("/home");
}
or should I do it this way?
public function delete($id){
$data = personal_info::find($id)->delete();
return redirect("/home");
}
personal_info model:
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Eloquent;
use SoftDeletes;
class personal_info extends Eloquent
{
protected $fillable = array('Name');
protected $table = 'personal_infos';
protected $primaryKey = 'id';
protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
public function user_info1s() {
return $this->hasMany('App\user_info1','user_id');
}
Route: (not sure should I use DELETE instead)
Route::get('/home/{id}/delete', 'HomeController#delete');

Answer 1

There is no need to use delete on the method. try to change your function to this
public function delete($id){
personal_info::findOrFail($id)->delete();
return back();
}
Edit
The Route method and Form method must be the same.

Answer 2

Change
Route::get('/home/{id}/delete', 'HomeController#delete');
To
Route::post('/home/{id}/delete', 'HomeController#delete');
Controller Method
use Carbon\Carbon;
public function delete($id)
{
personal_info::find($id)->update([
'deleted_at' => Carbon::now()
]);
return redirect()->back();
}
home.blade.php
<table class="table table-bordered">
<tr>
<th><strong><big>Name: </big></strong></th>
<th><strong><big>Action </big></strong></th>
</tr>
<td>
<tr>
// Example of adjusting your query to support soft deletes
#php
$data = Some\Model::whereNotNull('deleted_at')->get();
#endphp
#foreach($data as $value)
<tr>
<th>{{$value->Name}}</th>
<th><form action="{{ url('/home/'.$value->id.'/delete') }}" method="post">
<button>Delete</button>
</form></th>
</tr>
#endforeach
</tr>
</tr>
