This article for IT professionals describes the steps to delete AppLocker rules.
As older apps are retired and new apps are deployed in your organization, it's necessary to modify the application control policies. If an app is no longer supported by your organization, then deleting the rule or rules associated with that app prevents the app from running.
For info about testing an AppLocker policy to see what rules affect which files or applications, see [Test an AppLocker policy by Using Test-AppLockerPolicy](test-an-applocker-policy-by-using-test-applockerpolicy.md).
You can perform this task by using the Group Policy Management Console for an AppLocker policy in a Group Policy Object (GPO) or by using the Local Security Policy snap-in for an AppLocker policy on a local computer or in a security template. For info how to use these MMC snap-ins to administer AppLocker, see [Administer AppLocker](administer-applocker.md#bkmk-using-snapins).
To manage an AppLocker policy in a Group Policy Object (GPO), you can perform this task by using the Group Policy Management Console. To manage an AppLocker policy for the local computer or for use in a security template, use the Local Security Policy snap-in. For info how to use these MMC snap-ins to administer AppLocker, see [Administer AppLocker](administer-applocker.md#using-the-mmc-snap-ins-to-administer-applocker).
These steps apply only for locally managed devices. Any AppLocker policies delivered through MDM or Group Policy must be removed using those tools.
