Please don't do that ;) Unless you're willing to do it frequently. See:

expungeDeletes is really a variety of optimize, so the issues outlined
in that blog apply.

Thanks for the response Erick. I’m deleting the documents with expungeDeletes
option set as true. So, that does trigger a merge to throw away the deleted
documents.

Not sure what you're really looking for here. Size on disk is _never_
reduced by a delete operation, the document is only 'marked as
deleted'. Only when segments are merged
