Direct answer
Hauler Drone is a current official entity, but the checked official material does not document a verified delete or recycle control. Protect the save, cancel or clear the Drone's current task if the UI allows it, inspect the current selection and demolition tools, test only reversible actions, and confirm the result before saving again.
Field note
Protect the current state
Stop nearby automation if a misplaced Drone can move valuable material. Create a recoverable save or backup using the options available in the current build before testing a destructive control.
Identify the exact Hauler Drone and its current task so a selection problem is not mistaken for a missing delete action.
Field note
Inspect current UI and tools
Select the Drone and check its context actions, assignment state, and any cancel or recall control. Then inspect the current selection, construction, or demolition tools for an explicit Drone interaction.
Do not follow a community key sequence blindly. Interface and control steps are volatile and were not verified in the checked official pages.
Field note
Verify removal and recover from failure
After a successful action, confirm that the Drone is gone, its task is cleared, and no material or assignment remains stranded. Save only after checking the surrounding production line.
If no explicit reversible action works, restore the protected state and wait for current official control documentation or a reproducible same-version test instead of escalating to file edits or unknown console commands.
