delete() not working on Eloquent in laravel and getting the call to member function error. Like is just a simple model.

  $matchThese = ['snippet_id' => $snippet_id, 'user_id' => $user_id];
  $likedsnippet =  Like::where($matchThese)->get();
  $likedsnippet->delete();

Is Like has a child, or attached relationship? If yes, you first need to detach the connection or delete the child object as well.

If Like is a simple object, is it exists at all?

Maybe the object with the conditions you are searching for does not exists. Try to dd the like object before the delete, or wrap it around with:

if(isset($likedsnippet))
{
   $likedsnippet->delete();
}

Or you can try to delete the objects one by one using a foreach:

foreach($likedsnippet as $obj)
{
   $obj->delete();
}

Eloquent's get method return an Collection instance and collections don't have delete method. You can rewrite the query like this:

Like::where($matchThese)->delete();

it looks like there are only one deleting model in your application, if it's So, you can use first method.

  $likedsnippet = Like::where($matchThese)->first();
  $likedsnippet->delete();
