What is the proper way to delete post meta?

I'm talking about removing the meta item completely, not just setting it null with ->saveMeta!

To properly delete a post meta item using Corcel, you can use the deleteMeta() method. Here's an example:

$post = Post::find($postId);
$post->deleteMeta('meta_key');

In the above code, replace $postId with the actual ID of the post you want to delete the meta from. The 'meta_key' parameter should be replaced with the key of the meta item you want to delete.

The deleteMeta() method will remove the specified meta item completely from the post. It does not just set it to null like saveMeta() does.

Make sure you have the necessary permissions and authentication to delete the meta item.
