Tip
Read the Usage Examples to learn how to run this example.
The following example matches documents in the movies collection
in which the runtime is greater than 800 minutes, deleting all
documents matched:
coll := client.Database("sample_mflix").Collection("movies") filter := bson.D{{"runtime", bson.D{{"$gt", 800}}}} results, err := coll.DeleteMany(context.TODO(), filter) if err != nil { panic(err) }

Expected Result
After you run the full example, it removes the following documents
in the movies collection:
// results truncated { "_id": ObjectId("573a1397f29313caabce69db"), ... , "runtime": 1256, ... }, { "_id": ObjectId("573a1397f29313caabce75fe"), ... , "runtime": 910, ... }, { "_id": ObjectId("573a1399f29313caabcee1aa"), ... , "runtime": 1140, ... }, { "_id": ObjectId("573a13a6f29313caabd18ae0"), ... , "runtime": 877, ... }
