Delete a Document
You can delete a document from a collection by calling the delete_one() method on a Collection
instance.
Pass a query filter to the delete_one() method to match the document you want to
delete from the collection. If multiple documents match the query filter, MongoDB
deletes the first matching document according to their natural order in the
database or according to the sort order specified in a DeleteOptions
instance.
The delete_one() method returns a DeleteResult
type. This type contains information about the result of the delete operation, such as
the total number of documents deleted.
To learn more about delete operations, see the Delete Documents guide.
Example
This example deletes a document that matches a query filter from the restaurants
collection in the sample_restaurants database.
This example uses a query filter that matches documents in which the value of the
name field is "Haagen-Dazs" and the borough field is "Brooklyn". MongoDB
deletes the first document that matches the query filter.
