Sorry Lorill, I misread your question.

No we haven't changed the policy that data element can be deleted if data
value audits exist.

We recently implemented a feature for pruning
<https://dhis2.github.io/dhis2-docs/master/en/developer/html/webapi_maintenance.html>
data (including approval records, data set completeness records, data value
audits and data values) for organisation unit units.

/api/26/maintenance/dataPruning/organisationUnits/<org-unit-id>

We could implement something similar for data elements.
