# DELETE /{accountId}/vaults/{vaultName}/lock-policy

`DELETE /{accountId}/vaults/{vaultName}/lock-policy`

This operation aborts the vault locking process if the vault lock is not in the `Locked` state. If the vault lock is in the `Locked` state when this operation is requested, the operation returns an `AccessDeniedException` error. Aborting the vault locking process removes the vault lock policy from the specified vault.

A vault lock is put into the `InProgress` state by calling InitiateVaultLock. A vault lock is put into the `Locked` state by calling CompleteVaultLock. You can get the state of a vault lock by calling GetVaultLock. For more information about the vault locking process, see [Amazon Glacier Vault Lock](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/vault-lock.html). For more information about vault lock policies, see [Amazon Glacier Access Control with Vault Lock Policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/vault-lock-policy.html).

This operation is idempotent. You can successfully invoke this operation multiple times, if the vault lock is in the `InProgress` state or if there is no policy associated with the vault.
