While that may work, I have found that anytime you are looping over an array
like this, modifying/deleting items in the array while iterating over it is
problematic at best.
I find the best way is to create a new array that holds the id's of the items
you want to delete and iterating over this new array and deleting specific
items in the original array is best.
