    import (
    	"context"
    	"fmt"

    	"cloud.google.com/go/bigquery"
    )

    // deleteModel demonstrates deletion of BigQuery ML model.
    func deleteModel(projectID, datasetID, modelID string) error {
    	// projectID := "my-project-id"
    	// datasetID := "mydataset"
    	// modelID := "mymodel"
    	ctx := context.Background()
    	client, err := bigquery.NewClient(ctx, projectID)
    	if err != nil {
    		return fmt.Errorf("bigquery.NewClient: %w", err)
    	}
    	defer client.Close()

    	model := client.Dataset(datasetID).Model(modelID)
    	if err := model.Delete(ctx); err != nil {
    		return fmt.Errorf("couldn't delete model: %w", err)
