Remove function is not deleting the record from collection.

[RSPaul]

collection.remove({ fieldName: name }, { justOne: false }, function ()

I am using above code to delete the document from the collection, it gives no error but when check the database the same record is still there.

Its just add the following attributes to that document. I need to completely remove this document from database

{"_id":227,"_uid":227,"_dt":1614923923248,"_a":"del"}

If I do a findOne(query), it will get the first document, even if it has been deleted.

@RSPaul use yourCollectionName.compactCollection() as mentioned in README:

tingodb/README.md

Lines 123 to 125 in 1b1c55c

	#### Collection.compactCollection, Database.compactDatabase
	From the initial release compactionation function was available internally. There were several requests to make this avilable through API and we did it. Please keep in mind that compactination is best called as the first operation with database. Using compactionation in the middle of work session is also possible, but all cursors obtained prior to that will be invalidated and will throw errors on data access.

collection.compactCollection(function (e,r){});

compacting before every operation is not very efficient, versus find to skip deleted ones until a later on compaction.
