Cannot turn off FileVault

As the picture, I have unlocked but the option is still grey out.

And I tried to use terminal to disable FileVault. It shows "Error: FileVault can not be disabled due to managed preferences."

OK, I solve this problem by myself. My FileVault option is locked by some profiles. In System Preference > Profiles, I delete the profile which locks FileVault option. However, some profiles is not removable, so I delete all files in /var/db/ConfigurationProfiles and /Library/Managed Preferences. Finally, I can turn off the FileVault. This may damage the system, so I advise to backup the system first.
