The checked answer does work but officially in MongooseJS latest, you should use pull.

doc.subdocs.push({ _id: 4815162342 }) // added
doc.subdocs.pull({ _id: 4815162342 }) // removed

https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api.html#mongoosearray_MongooseArray-pull

I was just looking that up too.

See Daniel's answer for the correct answer. Much better.

Since favorites is an array  you just need to splice it off and save the document   var mongoose   require  mongoose        Schema   mongoose Schema   var favorite   new Schema       cn  String      favorites  Array      module exports   mongoose model  Favorite   favorite    exports deleteFavorite   function  req  res  next        if  req params callback     null            res contentType    application javascript                Changed to findOne instead of find to get a single document with the favorites      Favorite findOne  cn  req params name   function  error  doc            if  error                res send null  500             else if  doc                var records     records   doc                  find the delete uid in the favorites array             var idx   doc favorites   doc favorites indexOf req params deleteUid    -1                 is it valid              if  idx     -1                       remove it from the array                  doc favorites splice idx  1                      save the doc                 doc save function error                        if  error                            console log error                           res send null  500                         else                              send the records                         res send records                                                                stop here  otherwise 404                 return                                     send 404 not found         res send null  404

You can also do the update directly in MongoDB without having to load the document and modify it using code  Use the  pull or  pullAll operators to remove the item from the array    Favorite updateOne   cn  req params name      pullAll   uid   req params deleteUid           you can also use updateMany for multiple documents   http   docs mongodb org manual reference operator update pullAll
