mongodb - Difference between findOneAndDelete() and findOneAndRemove()

Question

I am not able to differentiate findOneAndDelete() And findOneAndRemove() in the mongoose documentaion.

Query.prototype.findOneAndDelete()

This function differs slightly from Model.findOneAndRemove() in that findOneAndRemove() becomes a MongoDB findAndModify() command, as opposed to a findOneAndDelete() command. For most mongoose use cases, this distinction is purely pedantic. You should use findOneAndDelete() unless you have a good reason not to.
