Listening to one added document in Firestore - Swift

I'm listening to only one added document in a collection, and after it is read I need this document to be deleted. This is the code I implemented:

func createListener(){
    guard let currentUid = Auth.auth().currentUser?.uid else { return }
    listener = db.collection("Collection").document(currentUid).collection("Collection").addSnapshotListener({ listenerSnapshot, error in
        if let error = error{
            print(error.localizedDescription)
            return
        }
        listenerSnapshot?.documentChanges.forEach({ change in
            if change.type == .added{
                let data = change.document.data()
                
                let myview = MYView(data: data)
                guard let window = UIApplication.shared.windows.last else { return }
                myview.present(to: window) {
                    change.document.reference.delete()
                }
            }
        })
    })
}

The problem is that after the document is deleted with

change.document.reference.delete()

The listener snippet change.type ==.added is triggered even if the document has been deleted. I don't know why...

How can I only listen for actually ADDED documents in a Firestore Collection?

EDIT:

listening for a specific document but still closure called when document is deleted:

listener = db.collection("Collection").document(currentUid).addSnapshotListener({ listenerSnapshot, error in
        if let error = error{
            print(error.localizedDescription)
            return
        }
        guard let data = listenerSnapshot?.data() else { return }
        let myview = MYView(data: data)
            
        guard let window = UIApplication.shared.windows.last else { return }
        myview.present(to: window) {
            listenerSnapshot?.reference.delete()
        }
    })

I'm listening to only one added document in a collection.

No, you're not. You're attaching a snapshot listener to a collection and not to a single document:

db.collection("Collection")
  .document(currentUid)
  .collection("Collection") //👈
  .addSnapshotListener(/* ... */)

This means that you're listening for real-time updates for each operation that takes place inside the entire sub-collection called "Collection".

What you're basically doing, you're saying, hey Firestore, give me all documents that exist in that sub-collection and keep the listener alive. This listener will be invoked every time a document in that collection changes over time.

If you want to listen to a single document, then you should add a call to .document() and pass a specific document ID:

db.collection("Collection")
  .document(currentUid)
  .collection("Collection")
  .document("someDocumentId") //👈
  .addSnapshotListener(/* ... */)

In this way, you'll only be notified about the changes to a single document.
