How To Delete Groups On Facebook
For more basic details about using Facebook, see my post on Facebook for company.
Why might I want to delete a Facebook group?
The reason I wished to do this is that I had a group based around a basic election that there was no point staying up to date with now. There are lots of reasons you may wish to delete a group, though-- it may have got out of hand, you might not have time to run it, it may be time-dependent and out of date, like my one was.
If it's a matter of not having enough time, think about making somebody else the Admin for the group-- you can see how to do that later on in this post, too.
Keep in mind, you do need to be the owner or administrator of the group to erase it.
How do I delete a Facebook group?
To delete a Facebook group, you have to remove all the members, then yourself. This makes the group go away.
In your group, find its Members location:
Click on the Members link and here you are with your list of members:.
For each member, click the cog under the member's name and click Remove from Group. Note that this is where you can make them an Admin rather.
Facebook will ask you to verify.
Do this for each member of the group.
Lastly, eliminate yourself from the group in the same way. You will get this verification message:.
This is the very same error message whether you're simply leaving the group or you're the last to leave-- simply select Leave Group.
The group should now vanish. If it does not, your finest bet is to contact Facebook. Click the arrow marked here:.
and choose Report a Problem from the dropdown.
