# Deleting a Blueprint

> Safely delete a Blueprint in Iru Endpoint. Reassign or remove devices before deletion and understand the impact on assigned configurations.

### About Deleting a Blueprint

Deleting a Blueprint permanently removes it from Iru Endpoint. This action cannot be undone. Before deletion, move devices to a different Blueprint to avoid unintended policy or software changes. Blueprint changes, including deletion, are recorded on the [Activity Page](/en/endpoint/devices/activity-page).

<Callout icon="triangle-exclamation" color="#EAB308" iconType="regular">As of April 1, 2026, all legacy Classic Blueprints were automatically converted to Assignment Maps, which are the default, improved version of Blueprints.</Callout>

### Before You Delete

* Confirm no active devices still depend on this Blueprint
* Move assigned devices to a destination Blueprint first
* Validate required Library Items and Parameters exist in the destination Blueprint

### If Deletion Is Not Available yet

A Blueprint cannot be deleted while it is still in use. Typical blockers are **Blueprint Routing** that references the Blueprint and devices that remain assigned to it. Iru Endpoint disables **Delete Blueprint** in that situation and surfaces **This Blueprint cannot be deleted yet** with the specific reasons.

#### From a Blueprint Tile

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Blueprints">
    Open **Blueprints** in the left navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the menu on the Blueprint tile">
    On the **tile** for the Blueprint, click the **ellipsis** (**…**).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Hover over Delete Blueprint">
    **Delete Blueprint** is disabled when deletion is not allowed. Hover over **Delete Blueprint** to see the warning (for example references to **Blueprint Routing** and assigned devices).

#### How to Unblock Deletion

When the warning cites **Blueprint Routing**, open [Blueprint Routing](/en/endpoint/enrollment/blueprint-routing) and update or remove any rules that still point at this Blueprint. Routing is evaluated during enrollment; until no rule references the Blueprint, Iru Endpoint keeps **Delete Blueprint** disabled so you do not strand new or existing enrollments.

When the warning cites assigned devices, every device on the Blueprint must be moved to a different Blueprint before you can delete it. Use a device record for a single device or bulk actions on the Devices list, pick a destination Blueprint that already has the Library Items and Parameters those devices need, then confirm the move. Step-by-step instructions are in [Moving Devices Between Blueprints](/en/endpoint/blueprints/assignment-maps/moving-devices-between-blueprints).

After routing no longer references the Blueprint and no devices remain assigned to it, **Delete Blueprint** becomes available. Use the **Delete a Blueprint** steps earlier in this article.

### Move Devices Before Deletion

If devices are still assigned, move them first:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select device(s)">
    Open a device record (single move) or select devices in the Devices list (bulk move).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Change Blueprint">
    Use **Edit Blueprint** (single) or **Change Blueprint** (bulk).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select destination">
    Choose the destination Blueprint and confirm.
  </Step>
</Steps>

For detailed movement steps, see [Moving Devices Between Blueprints](/en/endpoint/blueprints/assignment-maps/moving-devices-between-blueprints).
