You can delete a policy version at any time. However, only versions that have never been published can be deleted. Published versions are stored for auditing purposes.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_pace.code\_editor

## About this task

-   Policy versions in Draft state can be deleted. When a version is deleted, all defined caller/mapping inputs and policy metadata associated with the version are also deleted.

    -   Policy versions in Current or Archived state.
    -   Policy versions that have been executed in a Standard run.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Policies** > **My Policies**.

    **Note:** To view all policies generated by admin/other users, navigate to **Policies** > **All Policies**.

2.  Click the **Policy name** for the policy that includes the version you want to delete.

3.  In the Policy Details page, click the **Versions** tab.

4.  Select the relevant version, click **Delete** and **OK** to confirm.
