Your action should look like this:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

public function deletepost(Request $request) // add Request to get the post data
{
    $tagId = $request->input('id'); // here you define $tagId by the post data you send
    $post = post::find($tagId);
    if ($post) {
        $post->delete();
        echo ('record is deleted!');
    } else {
        echo 'record not found!');
    }
}
