   I am a bit hazy on event holds, you may want to double check the documentation:

   https://docs.cloud.google.com/storage/docs/object-holds

   If I read that correctly, you first need to remove the hold and then remove the object. This may help:

   google-cloud-rust/src/storage/examples/src/objects/release_event_based_hold.rs

   Lines 29 to 38 in 12f34ba

   	let updated = client
   	.update_object()
   	.set_if_metageneration_match(metageneration)
   	.set_object(object.set_event_based_hold(false))
   	.set_update_mask(FieldMask::default().set_paths(["event_based_hold"]))
   	.send()
   	.await?;
   	println!(
   	"successfully released event_based hold on object {NAME} in bucket {bucket_id}: {updated:?}"
   	);
