#### Deleting Policies

To delete a policy, use the `kadmin` `delete_policy` command, which requires the "delete" administrative privilege. The syntax is:

         delete_policy [-force] policy_name

The `delete_policy` command has the alias `delpol`. It prompts for confirmation before deletion. For example:

         kadmin: delete_policy guests
         Are you sure you want to delete the policy "guests"?
         (yes/no): yes
         kadmin:

Note that you must cancel the policy from all principals before deleting it. The `delete_policy` command will fail if it is in use by any principals.
