title: In Cloud Firestore, why is it not possible to "single bulk" delete a collection (as can be done with Realtime Database)?
body: <p>With Firebase real time database we can delete a huge list of items with one single command simply by calling <code>remove ()</code>  on the parent node (the node is deleted and all is children too).</p>
  
  <p>But according to the documentation with Firestore (<a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/manage-data/delete-data#collections" rel="noreferrer">https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/manage-data/delete-data#collections</a> ) :
  <BR> to delete a Collection we have to code a batch that will to loop over all its documents and delete them one by one .</p>
  
  <p>This is not efficient at all. Is it because Firestore is in beta version or is it structurally impossible to delete the full node (Collection) in one single call ?</p>
