500 Internal Server Error when deleting user list via Trakt API

Description

Attempting to delete a user-created list via the Trakt API consistently returns a 500 Internal Server Error, even though the list exists and is discoverable via the API.

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Fetch user lists via Trakt API
2. Identify an existing list (example: delete me, Trakt ID 33035411)
3. Call the Trakt API endpoint to delete the list
4. Receive 500 Internal Server Error

---

Expected Behavior

The list should be deleted successfully, or a meaningful error response should be returned if deletion is not possible.

---

Actual Behavior

The API returns a 500 Internal Server Error with an empty response body.
