dfx canister delete occasionally fails because it attempts to withdraw too many cycles from the canister before it is deleted. Usually, dfx tries again with a larger margin of cycles, but sometimes this gets stuck. It is now possible to use --initial-margin to manually supply a margin in case the automatic margin does not work.
This is a temporary workaround until a clean solution exists (requires spec change, runtime change, wallet change, agent support).
