# MongoDB: deleting a document from a collection
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
async function deleteCourse(id) {
|
|
const result = await Course.deleteOne({id: id});
|
|
console.log(result);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `findByIdAndRemove([id])` if you want to return the value that is deleted.
|
|
|
|
If we were to pass a query object that matches multiple documents in the database to `deleteOne` it would only delete the first document returned. To delete all use `deleteMany`.
