# Deleting Amazon Verified Permissions policy store aliases
Deleting policy store aliases

You can delete a policy store alias when it is no longer needed. Deleting a policy store alias does not affect the associated policy store. Deleting a policy store deletes all policy store aliases associated with that policy store.

After you delete a policy store alias, the policy store alias name is reserved for 24 hours and cannot be reused during this period.
