You can use https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-delete-by-query.html with https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.0/query-dsl-ids-query.html

Or you can generate a bulk request and use the bulk API: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.0/docs-bulk.html
