# Delete controls

# Delete controls from an AI asset {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Delete controls from an AI asset to remove them permanently from the control table. This task confirms outdated or unnecessary controls are deleted.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_grc_ai_gov.ai_risk_and_compliance_admin

## About this task

Deleting a control permanently removes the control record from the system. This action cannot be undone. Use Delete only when the control record itself is outdated, duplicated, or should no longer exist in the inventory for any AI asset. If you want to disassociate a control from a specific AI asset while keeping the record available for future use, use Remove instead. For more information, see [Remove controls from an AI asset](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/7522RbGMeIcx0kx1QvlfOg "Remove associated controls from an AI asset to keep the inventory accurate and up to date. This step is essential to retire outdated or irrelevant controls without deleting their records.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAI Risk and Compliance Workspace.
2. Select the list ![]() icon.
3. Navigate to the AI asset inventory and open the AI asset record.
4. Navigate to Applies toControls.
5. Choose the control that you want to delete and select Delete.  
   The Delete button appears only when you have the required role assigned to perform this task.
6. Select Delete all.  
   The control records are deleted completely.

## Result

The selected control records are permanently deleted and can no longer
be associated with any AI asset. This action cannot be undone.

## What to do next

To add new controls to the AI asset from available control objectives,
see [Add controls from control objective](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/p3ixMFPcserFB6hy3OPn4A "Add controls manually from published control objectives to an AI asset in AI Risk and Compliance. Use this task when controls were not automatically generated by a post-assessment action, or when you need to apply additional controls beyond those mapped through the impact assessment.").
To disassociate controls without deleting them, see
[Remove controls from an AI asset](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/7522RbGMeIcx0kx1QvlfOg "Remove associated controls from an AI asset to keep the inventory accurate and up to date. This step is essential to retire outdated or irrelevant controls without deleting their records.").
