MongoDB – Drop Database And Collections

This post will show you how to remove a database and collections from MongoDB.

Bring the database into use using the “Use databaseName” command to drop it. You can then delete the database using the db.dropDatabase() command.

Syntax to drop the database is:
> db.dropDatabase()

Example:
> use CompanyDB
switched to CompanyDB
> db.dropDatabase();

Syntax to drop the collection is:
> db.Collection.drop()

Example:
>db.emp.drop()
