You don't necessarily need to delete it. You can just leave the plug in there, it won't cause any problems, my LQ9 has it.

It won't eventually leak? Or cause problems?

I had 258k miles on my sierra and the factory block heater didnt leak and it still worked great LOL. Though I didnt drive all those miles, it's really never an issue.
