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.

-
Select Delete.
-
In the confirmation dialog box, select Delete.
