The project structure will look like this:Make sure you have installed mongoose module using following command:npm install mongooseBelow is the sample data in the database before the deleteMany() function is executed, You can use any GUI tool or terminal to see the database, like we have used Robo3T GUI tool as shown below:Run index.js file using below command:node index.jsAfter running above command, your can see the data is deleted from the database.
