You can delete more than one document using the DeleteMany() synchronous method or the DeleteManyAsync() asynchronous method on a collection object.

The examples on this page use the following Restaurant, Address, and GradeEntry classes as models:

public class Restaurant
{
public ObjectId Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
[BsonElement("restaurant_id")]
public string RestaurantId { get; set; }
public string Cuisine { get; set; }
public Address Address { get; set; }
public string Borough { get; set; }
public List<GradeEntry> Grades { get; set; }
}
public class Address
{
public string Building { get; set; }
[BsonElement("coord")]
public double[] Coordinates { get; set; }
public string Street { get; set; }
[BsonElement("zipcode")]
public string ZipCode { get; set; }
}
public class GradeEntry
{
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public string Grade { get; set; }
public float Score { get; set; }
}

Note

The documents in the restaurants collection use the camel-case naming convention. The examples in this guide use a ConventionPack to deserialize the fields in the collection into Pascal case and map them to the properties in the Restaurant class.

To learn more about custom serialization, see Custom Serialization.

The following code deletes all documents in the restaurants collection whose borough field value equals the word "Brooklyn".

Select the Asynchronous or Synchronous tab to see the corresponding code.

Running either of the preceding full examples prints the following results:
