Hi, this is a typescript specific feature which is better asked on stack overflow than here, but as I was curious, I searched up the error and here is the solution. Hope it helps 😊 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63702057/what-is-the-logic-behind-error-the-operand-of-a-delete-operator-must-be-opti

FYI, the link only mentions how to workaround the problem, but it does not explain why the error exists in the first place. If you are casting something with as, of course the problem goes away, but that does not fix the underlying problem. Well, whether you care about the error is a different issue though and you may be perfectly fine with just bypassing it.
