Drop all files in Gridfs with pymongo

Question

I would like to drop all the files in GridFS but I didn't manage to do it :

from pymongo import MongoClient from bson.objectid import ObjectId #add the file to GridFS, per the pymongo documentation: http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/examples/gridfs.html db_file = MongoClient('192.168.0.16', 27017).db_file fs = gridfs.GridFS( db_file ) db_file.drop_collection('files') db_file.drop_collection('chunks') db_file.drop_collection('test') out = fs.get(ObjectId('57683734f525bc3d7420c262')) print(out) fp = open("test.mp3", 'wb') fp.write(out.read()) fp.close()

At the end of the code i still have a file created and i can still play it.

Try this:

my_collection = db['collection_name']
my_collection.drop()

or drop database :

client = MongoClient('192.168.0.16', 27017)
client.drop_database("database_name")
