How to delete a failed model in form recognizer

Question

Hi there!

I attempted to train a model in form recognizer studio and it let me, then coming after the fact to tell me that it could not train due to there only being 3 documents (surely it would be better to say this up front rather than letting the training attempt anyway before erroing...)

However, I now have a failed model stuck in my models list in form reconigzer studio. The delete button is greyed out so I cannot remove it.

When I do list models, it is not there due to it being in failed. When I run the API to delete model, it says the model does not exist. I re-trained the model with 5 documents and I then had the correct model in the list, with the same name. But the old one remains there. I tried again to delete it, but it just removes the working one. I have no way to get the stuck model out of the list.

Thanks in advance if you can advise how I can get this to go away.

I never did get it resolved. I had to remove my fields.json and start over re-mapping. Adding fields, testing, adding more etc. and keep doing. Something is not quite right and not sure what it is.

Have you tried to manually delete the model using the Delete Model API?
