options
An array of options for the remove operations executed against the chunks and files collections. See MongoCollection::remove() for documentation on these options.
Returns an array containing the status of the removal (with respect to the
files collection) if the "w" option is
set. Otherwise, returns TRUE
.
Fields in the status array are described in the documentation for MongoCollection::insert().
Throws MongoCursorException if the "w" option is set and the write fails.
Throws MongoCursorTimeoutException if the "w" option is set to a value greater than one and the operation takes longer than MongoCursor::$timeout milliseconds to complete. This does not kill the operation on the server, it is a client-side timeout. The operation in MongoCollection::$wtimeout is milliseconds.
