Error in $A.getCallback() [helper is not defined]

Hi,
I am facing the following error while deleting account from list :
Error in $A.getCallback() [helper is not defined]
My code is as follows:

Component.cmp

    <!-- Attribute Section -->
    <aura:attribute name="sortDirection" type="String" default="asc" />
    <aura:attribute name="defaultSortDirection" type="String" default="asc" />

    <aura:attribute name="mycolumns" type="List"/>
    <aura:attribute type="List" name="accountList"/>
    <aura:attribute type="List" name="selectedAccountIds"/>
    
    
    <!-- Handler Section -->
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.ChangeText}"/>
    <!-- Body -->
     <lightning:button variant="destructive"

Hi Vishakha,
JS is case sensitive and camelcase and using variables are no different to this. I see you are using Helper in parameter to function while you use helper in definition. So consider changing helper to Helper or vice versa.
deleteAccountHelper: function(component,event,Helper)

Hope this answers your question. If so please can you mark this as the best answer. Thanks
