# sf scanner rule remove (Retired)

Removes custom rules from the registry of available rules. Use the `-p|--path` parameter to specify one or more paths to remove. If you don't specify any parameters, the command lists all valid custom paths but doesn't remove any.


## Examples

Review these examples for some ideas on how to run `scanner rule remove`.

### Registered Custom Paths

This example runs the command without arguments to see a list of registered custom paths.

```
  $ sf scanner rule remove
```

### Deregister Rules

This example uses the `--path` parameter to deregister the rules defined in `somerules.jar` and `myrules.xml`, and all JARs/XMLs contained in the `rules` folder.

```
  $ sf scanner rule remove --path "~/path/to/somerules.jar,~/path/to/category/apex/myrules.xml,~/path/to/folder/containing/rules"
```

#### Replace this value:

- `~/path/to/somerules.jar,~/path/to/category/apex/myrules.xml,~/path/to/folder/containing/rule`: One or more paths to remove.

### Remove All Rules

This example uses the `--force` flag to bypass the confirmation prompt, removing all rules defined in `somerules.jar`. By default, a list of all the rules that are deregistered is displayed, and the action must be confirmed. To bypass that confirmation, use the `--force` flag.

```
  $ sf scanner rule remove --force --path ~/path/to/somerules.jar
```

#### Replace this value:

- `~/path/to/somerules.jar`: One or more paths to remove.
