How To Delete A Facebook Group
For more basic info about using Facebook, see my post on Facebook for company.
Why might I want to erase a Facebook group?
The reason I wished to do this is that I had a group based around a general election that there was no point staying up to date with now. There are great deals of reasons you might desire to delete a group, however-- it may have got out of hand, you might not have time to run it, it may be time-dependent and out of date, like my one was.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 another person the Admin for the group-- you can see how to do that later on in this post, also.
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 need to remove all the members, then yourself. This makes the group disappear.
In your group, locate 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 Remove 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 verification message:.
This is the same error message whether you're just leaving the group or you're the last to leave-- just pick Leave Group.
The group must now disappear. If it does not, your best option is to get in touch with Facebook. Click on the arrow marked here:.
and choose Report a Problem from the dropdown.
