I accidentally created some MongoDB collections within my database named "stickynotes" that I didn't want. All I wanted was a collection named notes, but I was fooling around and accidentally created some other collections. Here's how I deleted those collections using the mongo command line. (My commands are shown in bold.)
> use stickynotes switched to db stickynotes > show collections notes stickynotes stickynotes.notes system.indexes > db.stickynotes.drop() true > show collections notes stickynotes.notes system.indexes > db.stickynotes.notes.drop() true > show collections notes system.indexes
