By running remove once for each ID, or perhaps using in:

db.collection.remove( { _id : { $in: [
    ObjectId("51ee3966e4b056fe8f074f48"), 
    ObjectId("51ee3966e4b056fe8f074f4a"), 
    ObjectId("51ee3966e4b056fe8f074f4b") 
] } } );

mr.derick is there any data types in mongodb? – user1983299 Jul 25 '13 at 07:36
Yes, there are, but that has nothing to do with this question. – Derick Jul 25 '13 at 08:47
while inserting data into mongodb datatypes are not mandatory i think so..what is your opinion... – user1983299 Jul 25 '13 at 10:23
Is the same available with `NotIn` as well? – firstpostcommenter Apr 29 '19 at 14:26

remove is **deprecated**! Should be used `deleteMany` – kuzey beytar Oct 25 '19 at 08:51

You can accomplish this by using the command deleteMany.

const objects = [
    ObjectId("51ee3966e4b056fe8f074f48"), 
    ObjectId("51ee3966e4b056fe8f074f4a"), 
    ObjectId("51ee3966e4b056fe8f074f4b") 
];

db.collection.deleteMany({_id: { $in: objects}});
