Randy:
I just went through a convoluted purge exercise with PTC tech support because of the situation you described: assembly model at iteration 3, someone adds an instance, then realizes it should be a separate model with a different number. I want to remove the latest iteration of the now generic assembly model and the only iteration of the instance.
Easy in IL3.x, impossible in WC9.1 except by checking out and splitting up the family table, checking it in, using purge to get rid of the previous instance and generic, then regular Delete to remove the now independent objects.
Just wondering if anyone's found a better technique just using Delete

The other option is to delete the entire revision of the model + drawing including the instance and reload it. Waste of time and there will be situations where the dependies are too widespread to be able to do it without backing out a lot of stuff.
Just wanted to find a simple way.. I guess simple is not a word you can use when discussing Windchill 🙂
