What do you mean through "entire database to be deleted"? – Hydrosol

Just like a fresh firebase project. (With Create database option) – Sedgewinn

Then delete the project and create a new one. – Hydrosol

Answer 1

There's no way option to delete Firestore in Firebase UI, neither in Google Cloud. You can remove the whole project or let it be. You won't be billed for it if you don't use it.

Answer 2

You can use the CLI to delete the entire database:

firebase firestore:delete --all-collections

It will list all the collections in your Firestore and ask you for confirmation if you really want to drop everything.

Thanks for this - it deletes the content of the database, not removes the database from the google cloud nor deletes the firebase project. And this command I needed! (as importing databases via google cloud is an upsert). – Markmarkdown

Answer 3

To delete a DB in Firestore, you can also use gcloud. For the default DB you have to use this command: gcloud alpha firestore databases delete --database='(default)'

@habeeb-rahman this is definitely the answer, we gotta use gcloud cli to delete the database in our firebase project. – Scrivenor

Answer 4

You can delete The Collection which will delete all the documents and fields inside it.

It is Given in Firebase Console.

i want the entire database to be deleted not the collection or its data – Sedgewinn

Answer 5

Depending on how much data is in the DB you could delete it one top-level collection at a time using the firebase CLI command:

firebase firestore:delete "COLLECTION_NAME" --recursive

Where COLLECTION_NAME is the name of a collection at the top level of your DB. This command can only delete a few hundred or thousand docs in a few seconds before it starts failing and you need to run it again. I just keep running it until all the docs and collections in my top level collection are deleted.
