Cannot Delete a Part Sketch

[ethan_howardMMXXIV]

Hello Community,

Is there a reason I cannot delete a part sketch that has no children? When I right-click on the sketch, there is no option to delete. I click on the sketch and hit my keyboard delete button with no success either. Please help. Thank you.

It looks like the sketch may be shared? Is has that little icon over the sketch. Can you share the part?

You don't get the option to delete if the sketch is shared.

Unfortunately, I cannot. Is there a procedure for deleting shared sketches?

After @blandb clued me into the fact that this was a "shared sketch", I read up on what that was and was able to find the other feature that used that sketch. It seemed to be one particular sketch but other sketches were loosely tied to it too. Once I removed those relationships by deleting those features, I was able to right-click, delete the problem sketch. Thank you @blandb for the assist!
