We can add to a highlevel array with a record, e.g.

a = ak.Array({"x": [1, 2, 3], "y": [4, 5, 6]})
a["z"] = [7, 8, 9]

but we can't delete:

del a["z"]  # AttributeError
a["z"] = None  # makes a numpy object array

The Iceberg table is created using root, which makes removing the files difficult. Running minio as a non-root user will solve this.
