How to delete a table from MongoDB database?

Use drop() to delete a table. Following is the syntax −

db.yourCollectionName.drop();

Let us first create a collection with documents −

> db.deleteTableDemo.insertOne({"Name":"Chris","Age":23}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5ccfb705140b992277dae0e6") } > db.deleteTableDemo.insertOne({"Name":"Carol","Age":21}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5ccfb70c140b992277dae0e7") } > db.deleteTableDemo.insertOne({"Name":"David","Age":24}); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5ccfb714140b992277dae0e8") }

Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.deleteTableDemo.find().pretty();

This will produce the following output −

{    "_id" : ObjectId("5ccfb705140b992277dae0e6"),    "Name" : "Chris",    "Age" : 23 } {    "_id" : ObjectId("5ccfb70c140b992277dae0e7"),    "Name" : "Carol",    "Age" : 21 } {    "_id" : ObjectId("5ccfb714140b992277dae0e8"),    "Name" : "David",    "Age" : 24 }

Here is the query to delete a table from MongoDB database −

> db.deleteTableDemo.drop();

This will produce the following output −

True

Above, True is returned i.e. the table deleted successfully.
