Maybe you can use repository delete queries. Here is an example from documentation:

public interface PersonRepository extends MongoRepository {
  List  deleteByLastname(String lastname);

  Long deletePersonByLastname(String lastname);         
}

Using return type List will retrieve and return all matching documents before actually deleting them. A numeric return type directly removes the matching documents returning the total number of documents removed.
