ajax没有调用控制器函数laravel

Question

I am using following code in javascript function

 $.ajax({
    type: "DELETE",
    url: '/delprofile',
    success:alert("Record deleted."),
        error:  alert("Record not deleted.")
});

and my route and function are as :

public function delprofile (Request $request){  
   DB::table('education')->where('id','=',7)->delete();
   return true;
}

Route::post('/delprofile','ProfileController@delprofile');

The query is not performing any deletion.
