Delete protectionPolicyBase

Namespace: microsoft.graph

[!INCLUDE beta-disclaimer]

Delete a protectionPolicyBase object.

A protection policy can be deleted only after it was deactivated. When you delete a policy, all associated protection units are removed, and backup protection stops for the resources previously covered by the policy. Existing backup data is retained according to the retention policy before it's offboarded. You can restore data using previous restore points even after deletion.
