I have this code in my main.app:

app.get('/admin_panel', isAdm, async (req, res)=>{
  var records = await add_joke.find({});
  res.render('admin_panel', { recs: records });
})

After this I have and ejs file called admin_panel with this code:

<% for(var i in recs){ %>
          <div >
            <p ><%= recs[i].title %></p>
            <p ><%= recs[i].description %></p>

            <a href="/profiles?username=<%= recs[i].post_user %>" >By 
            <%=recs[i].post_user %></a>

            <form action="/admin_panel" method="post">
              <input type="hidden" name="id_post" value="<%= recs[i].id %>">
              <input type="submit" value="Delete">
            </form>

          </div>
<% } %>

And that submit to delete is:

app.post('/admin_panel', async (req, res)=>{
   var the_records = req.body;
   console.log(the_records);
   var the_alg_find = await add_joke.deleteOne({id: the_records.id_post});
   console.log(the_alg_find);
   res.redirect('/admin_panel');
})

The problem is that that post form gives me the rest of the id of the first post in the database to all post, it's there another method to select a specific item from an iteretion like this example? Thank you!

To better understand this you should probably share your collection schema

In the screenshot that you posted, the documents in the database do not have an id field. Therefore, you cannot refer to recs[i].id, and queries on { id: somevalue } will not work. Did you mean to use the _id field, instead?
