Try this:

<%= link_to "Delete", todo_list_todo_item_path(todo_item.todo_list, todo_item), method: :delete, data: { confirm: "Are you sure?" } %>

My reading of this is you need to pass in which list you are deleting from AND which item is being deleted to the method.

Need to see your code seems like you made an error in the routes file

Yes, as Sherwyn said above, you'll need to post the todo_item_controller.rb file, the view file that goes with it (possibly show.html.erb? It will be in the todo_item folder in the views folder), and the routes.rb file.
