Angularfire2 + Firestore query result with reference

I have few hundreds docs in a collection. And few of them are corrupted and I want to delete them. I know how to find the corrupted documents and I get them as a result of a query. But it's just a data, there is no document ID or anything.

So my question is, how to delete documents which I receive in query? Or is there another way how to delete documents based on some property?

getData(target) {
    return this.afs.collection('someCollection', ref => {
      let query: firebase.firestore.CollectionReference | firebase.firestore.Query = ref;
      query = query.where('label', '==', target);
      return query;
    });
  }

this.dataService.getData('CorruptedLabel').valueChanges().subscribe(resp => {
      console.log('resp', resp); // Here I get and array of objects
      // I would like to go through that array and call delete() on each item
    });

You can get the firestore document reference and delete the doc

this.dataService.getData('CorruptedLabel').snapshotChanges().subscribe(snapshots
=> {
  snapshots.forEach(snapshot => {
     if(snapshot){
          this.afs.collection('someCollection').doc(snapshot.payload.doc.id).delete();
      }
  }
});
