  • Description
  • Compatibility
  • Example

Tip

MongoDB also provides the db.collection.bulkWrite() method for performing bulk write operations.

Bulk.find.remove()

Starting in mongosh 0.12.2, Bulk.find.remove() is an alias for Bulk.find.delete().

In new code, use Bulk.find.delete() instead of Bulk.find.remove().

This command is available in deployments hosted in the following environments:

  • MongoDB Atlas: The fully managed service for MongoDB deployments in the cloud

Note

This command is supported in all MongoDB Atlas clusters. For information on Atlas support for all commands, see Unsupported Commands.

Create the music collection:

db.music.insertMany( [
{ artist: "DOA", genre: "punk" },
{ artist: "Rick Astley", genre: "pop" },
{ artist: "Black Flag", genre: "punk" },
{ artist: "Justin Bieber", genre: "pop" }
] )

The following example:

  • Initializes a Bulk() operations builder.

  • Searches for the genre pop.

  • Deletes pop music from the collection.

var bulk = db.music.initializeOrderedBulkOp();
bulk.find( { "genre": "pop" } ).remove();
bulk.execute()
