MongoDB\GridFS\Bucket::delete()

Delete a file and its chunks from the GridFS bucket.

function delete($id): void
$id : mixed
The _id of the file to delete.

MongoDB\GridFS\Exception\FileNotFoundException if no file was found for the selection criteria.

MongoDB\Driver\Exception\RuntimeException for other errors at the extension level (e.g. connection errors).

If the files collection document is not found, this method will still attempt to delete orphaned chunks.

<?php
$bucket = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->selectGridFSBucket();
$stream = fopen('php://temp', 'w+b');
fwrite($stream, "foobar");
rewind($stream);
$id = $bucket->uploadFromStream('filename', $stream);
$bucket->delete($id);
