Django rest framework-delete user but Table doesn't exist - django

Question

Table AWSIOt.User_set_user doesn't exist
image to show error
Hello, everybody, this is my first post.
I tried to delete a user by using user.delete(). However, it didn;t find user from table auth_user.
It looked for user from project.appname_user. I didn't create model user in my app and i writed "from django.contrib.auth.models import User" in top of my view file.
here are all my code
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from .head import *
class UserDeleteView(APIView):
def get(self, request):
try:
user_id = self.request.query_params.get('user_id')
user = User.objects.get(id=user_id)
user.delete()
return Response(Return_msg())
except User.DoesNotExist:
return Response(Return_msg(None, True, 'Failed, user does not exist!!!'))
so, how can i fix it???

Frank. Your bug is probably related to the fact you're using wildcard import from .head import *. That might be causing namespace collision with User.
I would recommend you to consider using delete method from APIView as the snippet below:
views.py
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework import status
from django.http import Http404
class UserDetailsView(APIView):
def get_object(self, pk):
try:
return User.objects.get(pk=pk)
except User.DoesNotExist:
raise Http404
def delete(self, request, pk, format=None):
user = self.get_object(pk)
user.delete()
return Response(status=status.HTTP_204_NO_CONTENT)
urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path("user/<int:pk>/", views.UserDetailsView.as_view(), name="details_user"),
]
