Delete A Facebook Group
For more basic info about utilizing Facebook, see my article on Facebook for organisation.
Why might I want to delete a Facebook group?
The factor I wanted 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 factors why you may wish to erase a group, though-- it may have got out of hand, you might not have time to run it, it might be time-dependent and out of date, like my one was.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 adequate time, consider making somebody else the Admin for the group-- you can see the best ways to do that later in this post, also.
Note, you do have to be the owner or administrator of the group to erase it.
How do I delete a Facebook group?
To erase a Facebook group, you require to eliminate all of the members, then yourself. This makes the group go away.
In your group, find its Members area:
Click the Members link and here you are with your list of members:.
For each member, click on the cog under the member's name and click Eliminate from Group. Keep in mind that this is where you can make them an Admin instead.
Facebook will ask you to validate.
Do this for each member of the group.
Last but not least, remove yourself from the group in the very same way. You will get this verification message:.
This is the same error message whether you're just leaving the group or you're the last to leave-- simply choose Leave Group.
The group should now vanish. If it doesn't, your best choice is to get in touch with Facebook. Click on the arrow marked here:.
and select Report an Issue from the dropdown.
