! Important: After a group is deleted, its name cannot be reused (unless someone specifically contacts Groups.io Support and asks to be able to use the name again). If you think you might want to use that group name again or make it available for others to use, rename the group to some nonsense name before you delete it. Exception: The name of a deleted subgroup can be reused. There might be a short delay until that name is available again.

To delete a group or subgroup:

  1. Desktop browser: In the left menu on the group’s website, select Admin > PreferencesSettings.
    Mobile device: At the bottom of a group page, tap the More icon, then select Admin > PreferencesSettings on the More menu.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings page.
  3. Look for and click or tap the red Delete Group button (in a desktop browser, it is at the far right). The Delete Group page appears.
  4. Review the red warning banner that asks whether you are sure you want to delete the group and displays a notice that the action cannot be undone.
  5. If you are certain you want to delete the group, click or tap the red Delete Group button under the red warning banner. A Verify Delete popup appears.
  6. Complete the Verify Delete popup:
    • In the first text field, enter any feedback for Groups.io, if desired. (This field is optional.)
    • In the second text field, enter the words I understand.
    • Click or tap the red Yes button. The group is deleted.
