Or if there is an animation for item removal.

Instantiate the QObjects in QML so that the QML engine owns them. 

  delegate: Item {

    // MyObject has properties.
    // Instance deleted by the QML engine when no longer needed
    MyObject {
      id: obj
      data: model.structuredData
    }
  }


This is the kind of thing that I describe in my QtCon talk:
