Hello Everyone,

Asking for your help regarding expunge operation. I have installed a local HAPI FHIR via docker in my desktop. And I am trying to test out the expunge operation Type-Level Expunge. However, it does not seem to work for me or I may not know how to use it. I am using postman by the way and this is my POST request below. I also do not know how to enable expunge. Please help. Thank for your assistance.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a few patients.
perform the Type-Level Expunge on patients only.

Expected Results:
No error. Patients are all gone.

Actual Results:
No error. Patients are all still present.
