What happens to policies that included a deleted destination group?

If the destination group was included in any policies, the deletion dialog will list all of them as dependent policies. You can click them to display their detail.

If the policy includes multiple destination groups – the group will be removed from the policy, but otherwise, the policy will stay as it is.
If the policy includes only the one destination group - the policy will be disabled and broken after the group is removed. To learn how to fix a broken policy, click here.
