The app.delete() method routes all the HTTP DELETE requests to the specified path with the specified callback functions.
Syntax

Parameters
- path − This is the path for which the middleware function is invoked. A path can be a string, path pattern, a regular expression, or an array of all these.
- callback − These are the middleware functions or a series of middleware functions that act like a middleware except that these callbacks can invoke next (route).
