Question

 How do I delete a draft rubric that is associated with an assignment?

These steps are only to be taken in an instance the status of a rubric has been changed from published to draft, while it was still associated with an assignment. 

Delete an associated Rubric

1. Navigate to the Rubrics page in your D2L Brightspace course, by clicking on Assessments in the navbar, then scrolling down to Rubrics.
