Drop Collection:

To drop a collection in the MongoDB Shell, you can use the db.collection.drop() method. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Start the MongoDB Shell by running the mongo command in your terminal or command prompt.
  2. Connect to the MongoDB server by specifying the connection string. For example:
mongo mongodb://localhost:27017
  1. Switch to the database that contains the collection you want to drop using the use command. For example:
use mydatabase
  1. Use the db.collection.drop() method to drop the collection. Replace collection with the name of the collection, you want to delete. For example:
db.mycollection.drop()




This will delete the mycollection collection from the current database. Replace mycollection with the actual name of the collection you want to drop.

Remember that dropping a collection permanently removes all documents and indexes within it. Be cautious when using this command, as the data cannot be recovered once the collection is dropped.

If you want to drop a collection from a different database, ensure that you switch to that database using the use command before executing the drop() method.
