@milo you can remove it a few different ways.

1. remove dummyData(); Line number 50 in server.js
2. remove collection post from mongodb shell
3. delete individual posts documents for "Lorem ipusm" content

When you first clone the app before starting it, you can remove invoking seeding database by removing dummyData(); shown on line 50 here in server.js. Long as you have at least one post in your collection it won't seed the data base, check the dummyData.js file here

if you already seeded the database as indicated in your question, another way is to remove it is from the mongodb shell via command line. Here are the explanations followed by commands:

• make sure mongodb is running

mongod

• logs you into the mern-starter database

mongo mern-starter

• to see the collection (referred to table in sql or other databases) you should see a post collection

show collections

• will show you the individual post documents

db.posts.find().pretty()

• will keep your collection post but delete all your post records within the collection, also has arguments you can pass as options for certain post documents to delete look here for more info

db.post .remove()

• will delete your entire post collection for more delete methods and options take a look here

db.post .drop()

Other people use a ui interface such as Robo Mongo, to play without paying just use an older version.
