How To Delete A Facebook Group
For more basic information about using Facebook, see my short article on Facebook for business.
Why might I desire 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 might wish to erase a group, however-- it might have got out of hand, you might not have time to run it, it might be time-dependent and out of date, like my one was.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 enough time, think about making someone else the Admin for the group-- you can see ways to do that later on in this post, too.
Keep in mind, you do have 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 disappear.
In your group, find its Members area:
Click on 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 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.
Last but not least, eliminate yourself from the group in the exact same method. You will get this verification message:.
This is the exact same error message whether you're simply leaving the group or you're the last to leave-- just select Leave Group.
The group ought to now disappear. If it does not, your best option is to get in touch with Facebook. Click the arrow marked here:.
and select Report a Problem from the dropdown.
