title: Delete Many Documents with model.remove()
challengeType: 2
forumTopicId: 301538
dashedName: delete-many-documents-with-model-remove
---
# --description--
`Model.remove()` is useful to delete all the documents matching given criteria.
# --instructions--
Modify the `removeManyPeople` function to delete all the people whose name is within the variable `nameToRemove`, using `Model.remove()`. Pass it to a query document with the `name` field set, and a callback.
**Note:** The `Model.remove()` doesnt return the deleted document, but a JSON object containing the outcome of the operation, and the number of items affected. Dont forget to pass it to the `done()` callback, since we use it in tests.
# --hints--
Deleting many items at once should succeed
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.ajax({
url: getUserInput('url') + '/_api/remove-many-people',
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json',
data: JSON.stringify([
{ name: 'Mary', age: 16, favoriteFoods: ['lollipop'] },
{ name: 'Mary', age: 21, favoriteFoods: ['steak'] }
])
}).then(
(data) => {
assert.isTrue(!!data.ok, 'The mongo stats are not what expected');
assert.equal(
data.n,
2,
'The number of items affected is not what expected'
);
assert.equal(data.count, 0, 'the db items count is not what expected');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
