Deleting a Database

To delete a database from MongoDB, you need to get a Db object instance that points to that database. Then you call the dropDatabase() method on that object. It may take a while for MongoDB to finalize the deletion. If you need to verify that the deletion has occurred, you can use a timeout to wait for the database deletion to occur. For example:
