# Delete an Arc policy

Return a group of users to the behavior of their remaining ServiceNow Arc policies, such as the default Arc policy, by deleting a policy you no longer need.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_ai\_governance.ai\_steward and sn\_app\_arc.admin

## About this task

Deleting a policy also removes its links to rules and deletes its capability overrides. Rules that other policies link to stay available to those policies. You can't undo a deletion, and you can't delete the default Arc policy.

To stop enforcing a policy but keep it for later, clear its **Active** option instead. For details, see [Edit an Arc policy](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/intelligent-experiences/gov-pol-edit-arc-policy.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **AI Control Tower** > **Home** > **Govern** > **Policies** > **Arc policies**.

2.  Select the policy you want to delete.

3.  Select **Delete**.

4.  In the confirmation dialog box, select **Delete**.


## Result

The policy is deleted. At their next policy sync, the users it covered get the rules from their remaining policies.
