# Delete a Rule in the Rule Vault

Bank rules are deleted from the [Rule Vault page](/doc/docs/rule-vault-page). Deleting a bank rule removes it from the system and the action cannot be undone. To keep a rule in the system but prevent it from applying to imported bank activity, users can [mark a rule inactive](/doc/docs/rule-vault-mark-as-inactive).

> [Default matching rules](/doc/docs/rule-vault-default-matching-rules) cannot be deleted but can be [marked inactive.](/doc/docs/rule-vault-mark-as-inactive)

> When a rule is deleted, the **Order Applied** numbers are updated to remove any gaps in numbering.
