I accidentally created a collection named 'group'. How do I remove it.
When I give the following in the mongo console
db.group.drop()
I get the following error
Fri Jun 7 16:36:39.630 JavaScript execution failed: TypeError: Object function ( parmsObj ){
var ret = this.runCommand( { "group" : this._groupFixParms( parmsObj ) } );
if ( ! ret.ok ){
throw "group command failed: " + tojson( ret );
}
return ret.retval;
} has no method 'drop'

To delete all documents in a collection, pass an empty document ( {} ). Optional. To limit the deletion to just one document, set to true . Omit to use the default value of false and delete all documents matching the deletion criteria.
The remove() Method MongoDB's remove() method is used to remove a document from the collection.
The problem is that group is a method on a database object. So, db.group cannot be used to get the actual collection named group. Instead, use .getCollection():
db.getCollection('group').drop()
