# Delete an Anthale Policy from Runtime Use

> Delete an Anthale policy that should no longer be available for runtime use after you confirm no active workflow still depends on it.

This guide covers retiring, replacing, or removing a policy from an Anthale organization.

<Danger>Deleting a policy is permanent.</Danger>

## Before you start

* Confirm no running integration should continue using this policy.
* Create or identify the replacement policy first if traffic still needs policy enforcement.
* Switch to the correct Organization before you delete the policy.

## Delete the policy

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the policy in the dashboard">
    Go to the [Policies page](https://platform.anthale.com/policies), then search by policy name, or filter the list
    with the available fields.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the action menu">Click the three-dot menu on that policy's row.</Step>
  <Step title="Delete the policy">Choose the delete action and confirm the permanent removal in the dashboard.</Step>

  <Step title="Wait for the list to refresh">
    Stay on the page until the policy disappears from the list or the dashboard confirms the deletion.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Verify the result

* Confirm the deleted policy no longer appears in the policies list.
* If you replaced it, confirm the integration now uses the correct replacement policy identifier.
