Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Collection Dropped or Renamed
The collection targeted by the range deletion was dropped or renamed between the time the operation was planned and its execution.
⚠️
Stale Metadata Reference
MongoDB's internal metadata or a client's cached information holds a reference to a collection UUID that no longer corresponds to an active collection.
⚠️
Replication Lag/Inconsistency
In a replica set, a secondary member might attempt a range deletion based on an oplog entry, but the target collection might not exist on that specific secondary due to replication lag or a prior inconsistency.
