The word is expunge, meaning to erase. In this case, it means the felony will be erased from your record.

To expunge is to erase or strike out. I don't know the exact legal implication, but would guess that when a charge is expunged, it would mean that the record of that wouldn't be taken into account while considering any future conduct of that person.
Maybe a person with legal background could explain the effect of something that is expunged.
