Soft Deletes ​

When soft deleting a model, it is not actually removed from your database. Instead, a deleted_at timestamp is set on the record.

To enable soft deletes for a model, apply the Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\SoftDeletes Trait to the model:

use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;

class User extends Model
{
    use SoftDeletes;
}
