Upon successful execution, the collection.deleteMany() method returns an Observable with a single element with a DeleteResult type parameter or with an com.mongodb.MongoException.

Delete All Documents that Match a Condition

You can specify criteria, or filters, that identify the documents to delete. The filters use the same syntax as read operations.

To specify equality conditions, use <field>:<value> expressions in the query filter document:

{ <field1>: <value1>, ... }

To specify equality conditions, use <field>:<value> expressions in the query filter document:

{ <field1>: <value1>, ... }

To specify equality conditions, construct a filter using the Eq method:

Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter.Eq(<field>, <value>);

To specify equality conditions, use the com.mongodb.client.model.Filters.eq method to create the query filter document:

and(eq( <field1>, <value1>), eq( <field2>, <value2>) ...)

To specify equality conditions, use the com.mongodb.client.model.Filters.eq_ method to create the query filter document:

and(eq( <field1>, <value1>), eq( <field2>, <value2>) ...)

To specify equality conditions, use <field>:<value> expressions in the query filter document:

{ <field1>: <value1>, ... }

To specify equality conditions, use <field>:<value> expressions in the query filter document:

{ <field1>: <value1>, ... }

To specify equality conditions, use <field> => <value> expressions in the query filter document:

{ <field1> => <value1>, ... }

To specify equality conditions, use <field> => <value> expressions in the query filter document:

[ <field1> => <value1>, ... ]

To specify equality conditions, use <field>:<value> expressions in the query filter document:

To delete all documents that match a deletion criteria, pass a filter parameter to the deleteMany() method.

The following example removes all documents from the inventory collection where the status field equals "A":

db.inventory.deleteMany({ status : "A" })

var filter = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter.Eq("status", "A");
var result = collection.DeleteMany(filter);

result, err := coll.DeleteMany(
	context.TODO(),
	bson.D{
		{"status", "A"},
	},
)

deleteManyPublisher = collection.deleteMany(eq("status", "A"));

collection.deleteMany(eq("status", "A"));

await db.inventory.delete_many({"status": "A"})

await db.collection('inventory').deleteMany({ status: 'A' });

$db->coll("inventory")->delete_many( { status => "A" } );

$deleteResult = $db->inventory->deleteMany(['status' => 'A']);

db.inventory.delete_many({"status": "A"})

client[:inventory].delete_many(status: 'A')

collection.deleteMany(equal("status", "A")).execute()

The method returns a document with the status of the operation. For more information and examples, see deleteMany().

Upon successful execution, the IMongoCollection.DeleteMany() method returns an instance of DeleteResult whose DeletedCount property contains the number of documents that matched the filter.

Upon successful execution, the Collection.DeleteMany function returns an instance of DeleteResult whose DeletedCount property contains the number of documents that matched the filter.

The com.mongodb.client.MongoCollection.deleteMany method returns an instance of com.mongodb.client.result.DeleteResult with the status of the operation.

The delete_many coroutine asynchronously returns an instance of pymongo.results.DeleteResult with the status of the operation.

deleteMany() returns a promise that provides a result. The result.deletedCount property contains the number of documents that matched the filter.

Upon successful execution, the delete_many() method returns an instance of MongoDB::DeleteResult whose deleted_count attribute contains the number of documents that matched the filter.

Upon successful execution, the deleteMany() method returns an instance of MongoDB\\DeleteResult whose getDeletedCount() method returns the number of documents that matched the filter.

The delete_many method returns an instance of pymongo.results.DeleteResult with the status of the operation.

Upon successful execution, the delete_many() method returns an instance of Mongo::Operation::Result, whose deleted_count attribute contains the number of documents that matched the filter.

Upon successful execution, the collection.deleteMany() method returns an Observable with a single element with a DeleteResult type parameter or with an com.mongodb.MongoException.

Delete Only One Document that Matches a Condition

To delete at most a single document that matches a specified filter (even though multiple documents may match the specified filter) use the db.collection.deleteOne() method.

The following example deletes the first document where status is "D":

MongoDB Compass provides a simple way to delete a document from a collection. The following example shows how to delete the document with item equal to paper from the inventory collection:

Note

In this example we are using the Compass Table View to delete the document. The deletion process using the Compass List View follows a very similar approach.

For more information on the differences between Table View and List View in Compass, refer to the Compass documentation.

To delete at most a single document that matches a specified filter (even though multiple documents may match the specified filter) use the collection.deleteOne() method.

The following example deletes the first document where status is "D":

db.inventory.deleteOne( { status: "D" } )

Click the Table button in the top navigation to access the Table View:
Use the Compass query bar to locate the target document.
Copy the following filter document into the query bar and click Find:
```
{ item: "paper" }
```
Hover over the document and click the trash icon which appears on the right-hand side:
After clicking the delete button, the document is flagged for deletion and Compass asks for confirmation that you want to remove the document:
Click Delete to confirm. Compass deletes the document from the collection.

var filter = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter.Eq("status", "D");
var result = collection.DeleteOne(filter);

result, err := coll.DeleteOne(
	context.TODO(),
	bson.D{
		{"status", "D"},
	},
)

Publisher<DeleteResult> deleteOnePublisher = collection.deleteOne(eq("status", "D"));

collection.deleteOne(eq("status", "D"));

await db.inventory.delete_one({"status": "D"})

await db.collection('inventory').deleteOne({ status: 'D' });

$db->coll("inventory")->delete_one( { status => "D" } );

$deleteResult = $db->inventory->deleteOne(['status' => 'D']);

db.inventory.delete_one({"status": "D"})

client[:inventory].delete_one(status: 'D')

collection.deleteOne(equal("status", "D")).execute()

Delete Behavior

Indexes

Delete operations do not drop indexes, even if deleting all documents from a collection.

Atomicity

All write operations in MongoDB are atomic on the level of a single document. For more information on MongoDB and atomicity, see Atomicity and Transactions.

Write Acknowledgement

With write concerns, you can specify the level of acknowledgement requested from MongoDB for write operations. For details, see Write Concern.
