To delete a GPO |
In the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) console tree, double-click Group Policy Objects in the forest and domain containing the Group Policy object (GPO) that you want to delete.
Right-click the GPO, and then click Delete.
When prompted to confirm the deletion, click OK.
Additional considerations
-
To delete a GPO, you must have Edit Settings, Delete, and Modify Security permissions for the GPO.
-
When you delete a GPO, GPMC attempts to delete all links to that GPO in the domain of the GPO. If you do not have rights to delete a link, the GPO will be deleted, but the link will remain. Links from other domains and sites are not deleted. The link to a deleted GPO appears in GPMC as Not Found. To delete Not Found links, you must have permission on the site, domain, or organizational unit containing the link.
-
You cannot delete the Default Domain Controllers Policy GPO or the Default Domain Policy GPO.
