  4. A progress bar appears. 

NOTE: When deleting a list, it is important to check whether it is referenced in any rulesets. A list that is associated with a ruleset cannot be deleted safely, as this would disrupt policy execution. A list can be safely deleted only if it is not referenced in any ruleset.

To delete a list, the system must first identify all references to it across rulesets. During this process, a progress bar will appear to indicate that the system is searching for references. Once the progress bar completes, you will see one of two results:

  • No references found: The delete action will proceed, and you can then publish your changes to make them effective.

  • References found: The names of the referencing rulesets will appear as hyperlinks. You can click these hyperlinks to navigate to the rulesets and update them by associating a different list, thereby removing the reference to the list you wish to delete.

  1. The Global Blocked URLs list is referenced in the Global Block List.

    NOTE: When multiple hyperlinks are present in a ruleset, clicking one can cause you to lose the context of the other links. To address this, a Copy Ruleset Info has been added to allow users to copy all information at once.
  2. You can click the hyperlink to go to the Global Block Lists ruleset where the list Global Block URLs is referenced.

  3. To disassociate the Global Blocked URLs in the Global Block List, go to Policy > Web Policy > Global Block > Global Block Lists. Click the three dots next to Domains Blocklist. Click Select Different List.

  7. Click the Action button located in the top right corner and select Delete to initiate the deletion.
