Deleting Documents in MongoDB

To delete documents, use the deleteOne() or deleteMany() methods. Both methods accept a filter document and an options object.

Delete One Document

The following code shows an example of the deleteOne() method:

db.podcasts.deleteOne({ _id: Objectid("6282c9862acb966e76bbf20a") })

Delete Many Documents

The following code shows an example of the deleteMany() method:

db.podcasts.deleteMany({category: “crime”})
