What you would like to accomplish:

To delete a document you must have or create a DocumentReference to that document. This requires that you know its complete and exact path to the document. If you want to delete documents that match a certain condition without already knowing their paths, you will first need to query for those documents to determine those paths/DocumentReferences. This involves reading them.

Being able to delete documents without reading them as specified in the public documentation using either the ID or a where clause on the index compounds.

If applicable, reasons why alternative solutions are not sufficient:

Reading the documents when you only want to delete them ends up costing an extra while you only really need to one of those operations.
