Can someone please show me, if there is a better way to remove one document from MongoDB using the Official C# Driver than what I have below-
var query = Query.EQ("_id", a.Id); database.GetCollection<Animal>("Animal").Remove(query); This code works, but seems too much work to me. The "Save" command for example- takes an instance and updates it. I want something like- Remove(item).
Remarks: I'm trying to use the official driver of C# rather than NoRM or Samus which seems out of date.

To delete a record, or document as it is called in MongoDB, we use the deleteOne() method. The first parameter of the deleteOne() method is a query object defining which document to delete. Note: If the query finds more than one document, only the first occurrence is deleted.
deleteone() The deleteOne() method deletes the first document from the collection that matches the given selection criteria. It will delete/remove a single document from the collection. It takes four parameters, the first parameter is the selection criteria and the others are optional.
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.
That's the way you do it. I'm sure you know this, but if you want to put it on one line you could combine it so you don't need to define a query variable:
collection.Remove(Query.EQ("_id", a.Id)); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
