After removing the solenoid, you need to connect the sprayer hose to the faucet outlet. This will make your faucet go analog. In this case, your faucet will work with the lever handle and the water will be bypassed as you removed the solenoid.
To make the joint long-lasting, use a clip to attach the sprayer hose and the faucet outlet. Some of the delta models have this feature. If your one doesn’t have the solenoid removing feature, you need to use a screwdriver or something.
