Is it possible to Purge the Employee (terminated) records from HCM database?

Summary:

During audit, team highlighted that in HCM we have few dummy employee records in production. Although they are terminated, we would like to check if we can purge them from HCM tables permanently so that we do not see them in person management (or terminated employees report)

I believe we were able to purge records from DB few years ago using HDL, don't think the functionality still exists. Any guidance or help would be appreciated.
