I missclicked when placing my sprinkler and screwed up my layout. Is there a way to reposition/destroy it?

Yes, you can re-position almost all place-able objects in the game besides Seeds and objects that degrade like fences. There are several methods:
- You can use your pickaxe, hoe or axe on most objects to pop them out of the ground.
- Objects in your house like you TV you can simply left click and drag around at will. You can also rotate these by right-clicking.
- Most objects you can also pull out by standing directly next to them, facing in the direction of the object, with a completely empty equipment slot and holding left-click. They will shake and eventually pop out.
- Most wood based objects, like fences, require that you use your axe and the hoe and pickaxe will not work.
Note: Objects that degrade (again, like fences) have a time limit for when you can successfully take them back though. It is more than a day at the least so you are free to place and pick up fences as many time as you wish, just make sure it's where you want it before you go to bed for the night.
Sprinklers, and most other crafted items, do not degrade and therefore can be placed and picked up and re-placed as many times as you wish over any period of time.
