Deleting company policies
IMPORTANT: All information about a company policy and policy violations is irrevocably deleted when the company policy is deleted! The data cannot be retrieved at a later date.
One Identity therefore recommends that you create a report about the company policy and its current violations before deleting it, if you want to retain the information (for audit reasons, for example).
You can delete a company policy, if no policy violations exist for it.
To delete a company policy
-
In the Manager, select the Company Policies > Policies category.
-
Select the company policy to delete in the result list.
-
Select the Disable policy task.
Existing policy violations are removed by the DBQueue Processor.
-
After the DBQueue Processor has recalculated policy violations for the company policy, click 
in the toolbar to delete the company policy.
The company policy and the working copy are deleted.
