Hi Lorne! Glad to see you on the mailing list!

I've sifted around our code to see how we handle this, and it seems that
we're simply retrying a couple of times until the dataset is actually
deleted [0]. I think that might be your best bet, though if you find an
alternative, I'd be curious to know.
