WiredTigerHS.wt is growing enormously

Hi Team, We have upgraded our mongodb standalone community version from 4.4 → 5.0 → 6.0 → 7.0 2 days back, after that, WiredTigerHS.wt file in mongodb data directory growing huge, we restarted the db multiple times, but the size is not reducing and continuously grows. We suspected a TTL index is causing this which was created after the upgrade, we have dropped the index, but still that didn’t fix the issue.
