MongoDB Drop Collection 💥

Delete Collection

You can delete a table, or collection as it is called in MongoDB, by using the drop() method.

✨ Drop Collection

python
import pymongo

myclient = pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/")
mydb = myclient["mydatabase"]
mycol = mydb["customers"]

mycol.drop()

✅ Return Value

The drop() method returns true if the collection was dropped successfully, and false if the collection does not exist.

⚠️ Watch Out!

Be careful with the drop() method. Deleting a collection will result in loss of complete information stored in the collection!
