Delete Multiple Documents

You can delete multiple documents in a collection by calling the ``delete()`` method on an
object collection or a query builder.

To delete multiple documents, pass a query filter to the ``where()`` method. Then, delete the
matching documents by calling the ``delete()`` method.

Example
-------

This usage example performs the following actions:

- Uses the ``Movie`` Eloquent model to represent the ``movies`` collection in the
``sample_mflix`` database
- Deletes documents from the ``movies`` collection that match a query filter

Suggestion:
Similar to prior feedback, I think printing the output should be mentioned or the code that prints should be hidden.

- Prints the number of deleted documents

The example calls the following methods on the ``Movie`` model:

- ``where()``: matches documents in which the value of the ``year`` field is less than or
equal to ``1910``.
- ``delete()``: deletes the retrieved documents. This method returns the number of documents
that were successfully deleted.
