function DeleteSpaceButton({ spaceId }: { spaceId: string }) {
  const deleteSpace = useDeleteSpace();

  const handleDelete = async () => {
    if (!confirm("Are you sure? This cannot be undone.")) return;
    await deleteSpace({ spaceId });
  };

  return <button onClick={handleDelete}>Delete Space</button>;
}
```
