Ask your system administrator (not DBA) to create an account in AD and set expiration time;

You assign this (windows) account in SQL Server with necessary privilege.

You may use

DBCC SHRINKDATABASE to implement your task. However, you may not be able to release space occuppied by transactions, which have not been replicated yet.
