          I think you have type conflict problem. what is type of _id in user collection and req.body.user? If _id is ObjectId and req.body.user is string, then user document will not be found for update. Also check productId type and slug type and remove single quote of slug in $pull: { productId:'slug'}

          • hey thanks for the reply ids are both from same schema so don't think it should be conflict with type.but yeah slug usage i was in fault but couldn't resolve the issue even after the modification

          • I suggest do findOne with query {_id: req.body.user} to make sure finding work fine then focus on update query with $pull
