Delete an AWS IAM Policy

Last updated: September 9, 2026

Before you can delete an AWS IAM policy, you must detach it from all cloud rules and cloud access roles. System-managed and AWS-managed policies cannot be deleted.

To delete a user-managed AWS IAM policy:

  1. Navigate to Cloud Management > AWS IAM Policies.
  2. Click the ellipsis icon on the IAM policy and select Delete from the dropdown menu. The dialog box will warn you that this cannot be undone.
  3. Click Delete to confirm.
