Compass is just a ui to mongodb. If you want to say delete a database you’ll need to schedule something to run. Either on a server somewhere or if on Atlas should be able to use a scheduled trigger.

Whats your use case for this?

If what you’re looking for is to auto-delete the contents of a collection, you can Expire Data from Collections by Setting TTL.

Hello,

     Created time-series collections to auto-delete.

Or

If you have custom condition after delete collection then use BATCH scripts to match your conditions and delete operation

Or

Set cron jobs to run on specific time and delete data
