What is a deleteOne() operation?

Entry MongoDB
Quick Answer deleteOne() removes the first document matching a filter. db.users.deleteOne({_id: id}) deletes exactly one user. Returns deletedCount. If multiple documents match the filter, only the first found is deleted. For deleting all matching documents, use deleteMany(). Always double-check your filter before running delete operations in production.
