Isn't this detailed in the documentation?

/**
 * Delete a collection, in batches of batchSize. Note that this does
 * not recursively delete subcollections of documents in the collection
 */
function deleteCollection(db, collectionRef, batchSize) {
    var query = collectionRef.orderBy('__name__').limit(batchSize);

    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        deleteQueryBatch(db, query, batchSize, resolve, reject);
    });
}

function deleteQueryBatch(db, query, batchSize, resolve, reject) {
    query.get()
        .then((snapshot) => {
            // When there are no documents left, we are done
            if (snapshot.size == 0) {
                return 0;
            }

            // Delete documents in a batch
            var batch = db.batch();
            snapshot.docs.forEach(function(doc) {
                batch.delete(doc.ref);
            });

            return batch.commit().then(function() {
                return snapshot.size;
            });
        }).then(function(numDeleted) {
            if (numDeleted <= batchSize) {
                resolve();
                return;
            }

            // Recurse on the next process tick, to avoid
            // exploding the stack.
            process.nextTick(function() {
                deleteQueryBatch(db, query, batchSize, resolve, reject);
            });
        })
        .catch(reject);
}
