Example¶

The following example uses the dropStore command to remove the data store myStore from the Atlas Data Lake storage configuration.

use sample

The previous command prints the following output:

{ "ok" : 1 }

Troubleshoot Errors¶

If the command fails, it returns one of the following errors.

Reason: The specified data store has dependent collections and can't be removed.

{
  "ok" : 0,
  "errmsg" : "store has dependent collections: <database.collection>,<database.collection>,<...>",
  "code" : 2,
  "codeName" : "BadValue"
}

Solution: First drop the dependent collections, then re-run the dropStore command.
