Documents deletion in shards

I have initial index with 5,655,272 documents, divided to 4 shards.
My python module deletes most of the documents and leave ~1.4M (out of 5.6M).
Then I also run "merge segments" to improve index serving time.
Now if I run
GET /s_8766822_1532083664603/_count
I'm getting:
{
"count": 1413818,
"_shards": {
"total": 4,
"successful": 4,
"failed": 0
}
}
as expected.
But If I run:
GET /s_8766822_1532083664603/_status
it looks like the total num_docs of all shards are 5,655,272 (the initial size, before deletion). deleted_docs is 0 in all shards.

What do I miss here? each shard should have quarter of 1,413,818 no? (put here 2 out of 4 shards output because of text limit):
