How To Delete Docs From Mongodb In Python

  1. You need to have Python installed and Mongodb set up.

  2. First, import the necessary libraries:

1 from pymongo import MongoClient
  1. Then, connect to your MongoDB server. By default, the server is started on the localhost at port 27017:
1 client = MongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017/')
  1. Choose the database and collection that you want to delete documents from:
1 db = client['mydatabase']
2 collection = db['mycollection']
  1. Finally, delete the documents based on the conditions specified. For example, to delete all documents in the collection:
1 collection.delete_many({})

Or to delete documents that meet a specific condition, for example, if the field ‘age’ is greater than 50:

1 collection.delete_many({'age': {'$gt': 50}})

Please replace ‘mydatabase’, ‘mycollection’, and the condition with your actual database name, collection name, and condition.

  1. Ensure to exit or terminate the connection to the MongoDB server when you’re done.
1 client.close()

By following these steps, you can delete documents from your MongoDB collection using Python.
