# Wrapper Remove Policy

> Low-level instruction to remove a Squads policy via self-CPI with empty vault enforcement

# createWrapperRemovePolicyInstruction

Removes a Squads policy from the vault via self-CPI using the vault's signer seeds. This instruction enforces that the vault has zero AUM (empty vault only), preventing policy removal while depositor funds are at risk. The manager must sign to authorize the removal.

Once the vault holds depositor funds (AUM > 0), use a governance proposal with `PolicyAction` instead. See [Propose Action](/developer-strategy-vaults/typescript/governance/propose-action).

## Usage

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

const ix = createWrapperRemovePolicyInstruction({
  payer: payerKeypair.publicKey,
  vault: vaultAddress,
  manager: managerKeypair.publicKey,
  squadsSettings: squadsSettingsAddress,
  squadsSettingsTransaction: squadsSettingsTransactionPda,
  squadsProposal: squadsProposalPda,
  squadsPolicy: squadsPolicyPda,
  squadsProgram: SQUADS_PROGRAM_ID,
  systemProgram: SystemProgram.programId,
});
```
