**Warning**  
Amazon WAF Classic is is going through a planned end-of-life process. Refer to your Amazon Health dashboard for the milestones and dates specific to your Region.

**Note**  
This is **Amazon WAF Classic** documentation. You should only use this version if you created Amazon WAF resources, like rules and web ACLs, in Amazon WAF prior to November 2019, and you have not migrated them over to the latest version yet. To migrate your web ACLs, see [Migrating your Amazon WAF Classic resources to Amazon WAF](waf-migrating-from-classic.md).  
**For the latest version of Amazon WAF**, see [Amazon WAF](waf-chapter.md). 

You can add or delete rules in an Amazon WAF Classic rule group.

Deleting a rule from the rule group does not delete the rule itself. It only removes the rule from the rule group.<a name="classic-rule-group-editing-procedure"></a>
