How do I remove documents using Node.js Mongoose?

Question

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.

Can someone fix?

If you don't feel like iterating, try FBFriendModel.find({ id:333 }).remove( callback ); or FBFriendModel.find({ id:333 }).remove().exec();

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

Update for Mongoose v5.5.3 - remove() is now deprecated. Use deleteOne(), deleteMany() or findOneAndDelete() instead.
