How To Delete A Group You Created On Facebook
For more basic details about utilizing Facebook, see my short article on Facebook for service.
Why might I wish to delete a Facebook group?
The reason I wanted to do this is that I had actually a group based around a general election that there was no point staying up to date with now. There are lots of reasons that you may want to delete a group, though-- it might have got out of hand, you might not have time to run it, it may be time-dependent and out of date, like my one was.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 refers not having adequate time, think about making another person the Admin for the group-- you can see the best ways to do that later in this post, as well.
Note, you do have to be the owner or administrator of the group to delete it.
How do I erase a Facebook group?
To delete a Facebook group, you have to eliminate all of 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 the cog under the member's name and click Get rid of from Group. Note that this is where you can make them an Admin instead.
Facebook will ask you to confirm.
Do this for each member of the group.
Last but not least, remove yourself from the group in the same method. You will get this confirmation message:.
This is the exact same error message whether you're simply leaving the group or you're the last to leave-- simply choose Leave Group.
The group ought to now vanish. If it doesn't, your best choice is to get in touch with Facebook. Click on the arrow marked here:.
and choose Report a Problem from the dropdown.
