    -   Policy versions that have been executed in a Standard run.

    **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.
