Redirection error in controller - php

Question

i cant seem to fix my issue when i delete a task it redirects me to dashboard i can see in controller it is currently redirecting to /dashboard page however when i try to fix this it just errors out :/ i want it to acheive the same result the create redirection does
public function createTaskPage(Request $request, $slug) {
$project = Project::where('slug', $slug)->firstOrFail();
// Validate it has a body.
$validate = validator(
$request->toArray(), [
'task' => 'required',
]);
if ($validate->fails()) {
return response()->json([], 400);
}
$tasks = new Task;
$tasks->project_id = $project->id;
$tasks->body = $request->task;
$tasksCreate = Auth::user()->tasks()->save($tasks);
//return response()->json([], 201);
return redirect()->to('/project/' . $project->slug);
}
public function doDeleteTask($id) {
try {
$tasks = Task::where('user_id', Auth::user()->id)->findOrFail($id);
} catch (\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException $ex) {
return response()->json([], 404);
}
$tasks->delete();
//return response()->json([], 204);
return redirect()->to('/dashboard');
}
This is the Form where delete button is
<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="panel panel-default shadow">
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="row text-center">
<h4><strong>{{ str_limit(strip_tags($project->name), 20) }}</strong></h4>
<h5>{{ $project->created_at }}</h5>
</div>
<div class="row text-center" style="margin:5px;">
{{ ($project->description) }}
</div>
<div class="row text-center">
<form action="{{ url('/project/'.$project->id) }}" method="POST">
{{ csrf_field() }}
{{ method_field('DELETE') }}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-link btn-sm" onclick="return ConfirmDelete(this)" style="margin:5px;"><i class="fa fa-ban fa-3x" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>
<i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-right fa-3x" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This is my Delete route & create route
Route::delete('/task/{id}', 'TaskController#doDeleteTask'); // Delete a task
Route::post('/project/{slug}/task', 'TaskController#createTaskPage')->name('task');

If you have a project relation defined in tasks, you can do this:
public function doDeleteTask($id) {
try {
$tasks = Task::where('user_id', Auth::user()->id)->findOrFail($id);
} catch (\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException $ex) {
return response()->json([], 404);
}
$project = $tasks->project;
$tasks->delete();
return redirect()->to('/project/' . $project->slug);
}
