Remove MongoDB table elements via node.js

I am populating my db (--modulus.io) everytime I run the server, in my model, since that gets called. However, I am unable to remove the contents of the table right before I populate, so I get duplicate contents.

var mongoose = require('mongoose') 
, Schema = mongoose.Schema 
, Collection = mongoose.Collection;


var taskSchema = mongoose.Schema({
....
});

mongoose.model('Task', taskSchema).remove();

module.exports = mongoose.model('Task', taskSchema);

The remove() method seems to not get called. Any pointers as to why this would happen?

I prefer to remove document like 

model.remove({}).exec();

Or by using callback 

model.remove( function (err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  // Removed
});

Refer documentation
