# Removing Archival Policy

Veeam Backup for Salesforce allows you to permanently remove an archival policy from the configuration database if you no longer need it:

1. Navigate to the **Archive** tab.
2. From the organization drop-down list, select a Salesforce organization for which the archival policy has been created.
3. Select the necessary archival policy.

   You can filter archival policies displayed on the **Archive** tab by using the icons in the **Show** field at the top of the list. If you select a filter, the settings will apply to all companies and will not change during the current user session until the user changes it manually. That is why if you do not see the necessary policy in the list, make sure that the **All** filter is selected.

4. In the **Confirm Archival Policy Delete** window, click **Remove** to acknowledge the operation. The archived data and files will not be affected.
