To begin, select the room you wish to delete. This action will reveal a menu at the bottom, displaying options to upgrade or destroy the room, as depicted in the image above. Click or tap on the arrow to proceed with either upgrading or removing the room from your vault in Fallout Shelter.
Criteria for Deleting Rooms in Your Vault
Two conditions must be satisfied before you can eliminate rooms in Fallout Shelter. Firstly, ensure the room is vacant. If any dwellers (including pets) are present, reassign them to other locations before proceeding.
Secondly, the room should not be interconnected with another room on the same floor. You'll need to demolish all connecting rooms on both sides before deleting the central room. Note that this rule excludes the elevator. While upper or lower floor rooms are exempt, the cost of rebuilding a single room in Fallout Shelter can be substantial.
