The django querysets where we use filter() function to select multiple rows and use delete() function to delete them is also known as bulk deletion.
If you really need complex filtering, check out django-filtering and add a delete button that calls QuerySet. delete() if the user is authorized.
Django-filter is a generic, reusable application to alleviate writing some of the more mundane bits of view code. Specifically, it allows users to filter down a queryset based on a model's fields, displaying the form to let them do this. Adding a FilterSet with filterset_class. Using the filterset_fields shortcut.
You can delete any QuerySet you'd like. For example, to delete all blog posts with some Post model
Post.objects.all().delete()
and to delete any Post with a future publication date
Post.objects.filter(pub_date__gt=datetime.now()).delete()
You do, however, need to come up with a way to narrow down your QuerySet. If you just want a view to delete a particular object, look into the delete generic view.
EDIT:
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I think the answer is somewhere between. To implement your own, combine ModelForms and generic views. Otherwise, look into 3rd party apps that provide similar functionality. In a related question, the recommendation was django-filter.
