google cloud platform - Update or Delete tables with streaming buffer in BigQuery?

Question

I'm getting this following error when trying to delete records from a table created through GCP Console and updated with GCP BigQuery Node.js table insert function.

UPDATE or DELETE DML statements are not supported over table stackdriver-360-150317:my_dataset.users with streaming buffer

The table was created without streaming features. And from what I'm reading in documentation Tables that have been written to recently via BigQuery Streaming (tabledata.insertall) cannot be modified using UPDATE or DELETE statements.

Does it mean that once a record has been inserted with this function into a table, there's no way to delete records? At all? If that's the case, does it mean that table needs to be deleted and recreated from scratch? If that's not the case. Can you please suggest a workaround to avoid this issue?

Thanks!
