  "error": {
    "message": "Directory not empty",
    "code": "131138"
  }

Couldn't see them from the docs or the library source...

Thanks peeps.

There is a "recurse" query parameter that you can use. It's equivalent to using rm -rf

Thanks @livid void . I made the fixes suggested to my PR for the examples and noticed I'd already used this in the example I wrote and forgot! 🙃

Thanks for making the changes! I'll take a look soon.

I saw that you used get_collection instead of find. That should be fine but there is one thing to note:
"Find" expects exactly one record to be returned that matches the query, if more/less are returned, an error is thrown by the library. On the other hand, get_collection doesn't have this check. So in your example, if multiple volumes match the query then operations will be done on all these volumes. It's fine if that's your intention with the example, just wanted to make sure you're aware
