 FBFriendModel.find({ 
id: 333 
}, function (err, docs) { 
docs.remove(); //Remove all the documents that match! 
});

The above doesn't seem to work. The records are still there.

How mongoose delete the document?

Answered by Ayushi Khatri

To remove documents using Node.js Mongoose without iterating, you can try

FBFriendModel.find({ id:333 }).remove( callback );

Or

FBFriendModel.find({ id:333 }).remove().exec();

The mongoose.model.find method returns a Query, which has a remove function.

This will work for mongoose delete document.
