# Remove Policy

> Low-level instruction to remove a Squads instruction constraint policy from the vault

# createRemovePolicyInstruction

Builds a raw instruction to remove a Squads instruction constraint policy from the vault. Once removed, the vault's smart account will no longer be able to execute transactions matching the removed policy. Requires the manager role.

## Usage

```typescript theme={null}
import { createRemovePolicyInstruction } from "@exponent-labs/exponent-sdk/client/vaults";
import { PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";

const ix = createRemovePolicyInstruction({
  payer: wallet.publicKey,
  vault: vaultAddress,
  manager: managerPublicKey,
  squadsSettings: squadsSettingsPda,
  squadsSettingsTransaction: squadsSettingsTransactionPda,
  squadsProposal: squadsProposalPda,
  squadsPolicy: squadsPolicyPda,
  squadsProgram: SQUADS_PROGRAM_ID,
  systemProgram: SYSTEM_PROGRAM_ID,
});
```
