Question

heres my code:

User user = db.Users.Where(u => u.ID == userInSession.ID).FirstOrDefault();
            UserItem UI = user.UserItems.Where(ui => ui.User == user && ui.Item == item&& ui.IsFavourite == true).FirstOrDefault();
            if (UI == null)
            {
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                user.UserItems.Remove(UI);
                return true;
            }
            db.SaveChanges();

It’s finds the erntry and tries to remove it, but after removing it, it doesn’t delete the entire row, it just deletes the value of UserID in the table. What am I missing here? When I do .Add it works fine..

Use db.UserItems.Remove to remove the actual object. Also you can create a single query to check if the UserItems exists for that specific userSessionId as below :

var UI = db.UserItems.Where(ui => ui.User.ID == userInSession.ID && ui.Item == item && ui.IsFavourite == true).FirstOrDefault();
