How to Delete Rules in Updates Publisher
Use the following procedures to delete System Center Updates Publisher rules from the Manage Rules dialog box or from the Expression Builder in the Modify Update Wizard.
To delete rules from the Manage Rules dialog box
Right-click any Updates Publisher console tree node, and then click Manage Rules to open the Manage Rules dialog box.
Highlight a rule, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm the deletion of the rule. Saved rules that are deleted are no longer available when creating new rules and selecting the Use existing rule category.
To delete rules from the Expression Builder
In the Updates Publisher console tree, select the product node for the software update that needs to be modified.
In the results pane, right-click the software update, and then click Edit to start the Modify Update Wizard.
Proceed to the Define Prerequisite Rules, Define Applicability Rules, or Define Installed Rules page of the wizard where the Expression Builder is located. All of the rules currently defined for each category are listed in the rows of the Expression Builder. If the rules are difficult to see, click Expand to open the Expression Builder in full-screen mode.
Highlight the rule to be deleted, click the Delete icon, and then click Yes to confirm the deletion of the rule. Deleting rules from the Expression Builder removes the rules from the software update definition, but does not delete saved rules.
