Padlock on Blueprints

I need someone to please help me. I have downloaded several items that have padlocks ~ I am unable to use in my franchise as I can not open them. I have completed all my research and still can not open the blueprint and use ~ I want to remove all these items that have this padlock since I am unable to use them. If I can not open and use them than I don't want it. If I am unable to open this than I should not have been able to download it. This doesn't make any sense to have it in my inventory. How can I remove, delete, get rid of the items that have a padlock? Someone, please help with this.
 
Do you have all the dlc as well? Pretty sure blueprints are locked when you download one that includes content you don't actually have in your game. So if that's the case I'm afraid you won't be able to use them unless you buy the dlc that is needed to use it as well.
 
Is the Blueprint a Entrance Building? Guest-Spawners and the Part where Guests pay to get into the Zoo can't be buyed in Franchise-Mode (I wish they would at least give us the Option to move them)
If that's the case, you should be able to place it in Sandbox-Mode and delete the Parts that make it impossible to import it into your Franchise and save it as a new Blueprint
 
For me, blue prints with the padlock are ALWAYS items I haven't unlocked via research. I have all of the DLC though, so it's also possible, in your case, that it contains DLC content (which require research that you cannot do....so it still goes back to being items you haven't researched even then). It could be construction pieces, which require you research the appropriate theme (mechanic research) OR it could be enrichment items which require that you research the appropriate animals (Veterinarian research).

Oh, or zoo entrances with ticket booths....which have the padlock if you are not in sandbox mode because you can't do customized zoo entrances with spawners and ticket machines in other modes.
