Delete an exception rule that is not required anymore. For example, you can delete a rule if you don't want to defer a container vulnerable item (CVIT) during ingestion.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_vul.vulnerability_admin

## About this task

Deleting a rule cancels the associated remediation task (VUL). The related CVITs are reopened, and group rules are applied to the individual CVITs.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllContainer Vulnerability ResponseAdministrationException Rules.
2. Open the exception rule that you want to delete and click Delete.
3. In the Delete Rule dialog box, click Delete rule to delete the selected rule.  
   The associated remediation task is also deleted. The related CVITs are reopened, and group rules are applied to the individual CVITs.
