Deleting data

To delete data, you can call the removeValue() method onto database reference. You can likewise pass null to the setValue() method, which does the same delete operation:

//Removes the entire child
mDbRef.child(userId).removeValue();
//Passing null to remove the calue
mDbRef.chile(userId).child("name").setValue(null);

// Similarly Hashmap can also be removed
Map<String, Object> mHashmap = new HashMap<>();

mHashmap.put("Name 1/title", null);
mHashmap.put("Name 1/content", null);
mHashmap.put("Name 2/title", null);
mHashmap.put("Name 2/content", null);

The following screenshot shows the Firebase console reaction for the delete operation:
