delete doesn't seem to be working for me

in the following code:

<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>

<h1>Listing Todo Lists</h1>

<table> <thead> <tr> <th>Title</th> <th>Description</th> <th colspan="3"></th> </tr> </thead>

<tbody> <% @todo_lists.each do |todo_list| %> <tr> <td><%= todo_list.title %></td> <td><%= todo_list.description %></td> <td><%= link_to 'Show', todo_list %></td> <td><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_todo_list_path(todo_list) %></td> <td><%= link_to 'Destroy', todo_list, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></td> </tr> <% end %> </tbody> </table>

<br>

<%= link_to 'New Todo list', new_todo_list_path %>

the 

<td><%= link_to 'Destroy', todo_list, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></td>

line to 'Destroy' does not get executed for whatever reason. 'Show' and 'Edit' works fine. I'm on Windows 10 Pro running Rails 4.2.5.
