Why might I want to erase a Facebook group?
The reason I desired to do this is that I had actually a group based around a basic election that there was no point staying up to date with now. There are great deals of reasons why you may desire to delete a group, though-- it might have got out of hand, you may not have time to run it, it might be time-dependent and out of date, like my one was.
If it's a matter of not having sufficient time, think about making another person the Admin for the group-- you can see the best ways to do that in the future in this post, as well.
Note, you do have to be the owner or administrator of the group to delete it.
