How to remove/disable GPO central store

Hello,

I am having trouble in finding a guide/steps how to remove/disable GPO central store. I do not want to use it any more. I am using Windows 2008 R2 forest and domain.

I can not delete \\domainname\SYSVOL\domainname\policies folder even though I am not sure if that would accomplish this. Also, I am not sure if that would delete my current GPO's.

Any guidance would be appriciated, thanks!
