# Delete artifact rule

`DELETE /groups/{groupId}/artifacts/{artifactId}/rules/{rule}`

Deletes a rule from the artifact.  This results in the rule no longer applying for
this artifact.  If this is the only rule configured for the artifact, this is the 
same as deleting **all** rules, and the globally configured rules now apply to
this artifact.

This operation can fail for the following reasons:

* No artifact with this `artifactId` exists (HTTP error `404`)
* No rule with this name/type is configured for this artifact (HTTP error `404`)
* Invalid rule type (HTTP error `400`)
* A server error occurred (HTTP error `500`)

## Response `204`

The rule was successfully deleted.

## Other responses

- `403` — Common response for all operations that can return a `403` error indicating the user is authenticated but not authorized.
- `404` — Common response for all operations that can return a `404` error.
