Impossible 'Delete' scenario?

I have been asked to delete version 5.1 of 3527000.  It has one instance, 3527009 1.8.   Given the 3 delete options,  it seems impossible.

  1. Deletes all iterations of the given rev.  Problem is it cant delete the last iteration-total deletion of part-( the instance is rev 1, it would be the last)
  2. B.  deletes all revs and iterations – wipes everything  we don’t want that
  3.   Delete just the last iteration, but seems how its 5.1, it would be deleting the last REV.  This option  doesn’t allow the last iteration of a rev to be deleted.

Can you either change the dependents to none or exclude the instance from the selection?  If so, then option 'A' seems like the one you want since REV 5 needs to go away completely.

Just for clarification, can you show the history of both the generic and the instance?
