you cannot delete rules from locked ruleset. I suggest you to save-as that rule and change it state to withdrawn.
you also need to have updated rule in highest version then withdrawn rule.
hope this helps

You can create an utility to set the password of your own choice, then unlock it manually and delete it. But its no a recommended approach. Instead you save as the rule to a branch, withdraw it, then merge to a higher ruleset version.

is there any advantage of saving the rule into a branch and then merging to a higher ruleset version, instead of directly saving the rule into higher ruleset and withdraw the rule like Anurag mentioned?

The only advantage comes when there are a lot of members working in the same environment. Pega recommends to use branch strategy for optimization and parallel working strategy. If you're working alone then you can directly save to a higher ruleset.

Hi @KevinR17115962,
You cannot delete a rule that belongs to a locked ruleset version. However, in most situations, you can create a blocked or withdrawn rule in your application that masks a rule (makes invisible to rule resolution), that you no longer need in your application.
Or Else
If you have a DB Access, you can delete it through DB by Using the DELETE Query , as mention below, it will be deleted.
DELETE FROM TABLE_NAME where pxCreateOperator='OperatorID' and pzInsKey='Your Rule pzInsKey'
Note: If you delete the rule from the DB, you can't recover rule from the Pega Developer Studio.
Dev Studio, click Configure > Application > Development > Recent Actions menu item. Click the View Deleted

Hi @KevinR17115962,
In the locked rule set, you cannot delete the rule, Pega does not suggest this approach, but we can achieve this by save as the rule into a higher version and marked as withdrawn, So the rule will not be picked from that rule set in the run time.

According to Pega's guidelines, you cannot delete a rule that belongs to a locked ruleset version. However, you can create a blocked or withdrawn rule in your application that masks a rule (makes it invisible to rule resolution) that you no longer need in your application. If you need to completely delete the rule, you would need to unlock the ruleset, delete the rule, and then lock the ruleset again. Please remember to always back up your system before deleting a class or rule.
