Delete a group from your organization

This page is for administrators who manage groups for an organization. To manage groups for an account that ends in gmail.com, go to Google Groups help.

---

As a Groups administrator, you can delete any group in your organization, whether or not you created the group. When you delete a group, the group can't be restored. Members don't have access to files or anything else shared in the group. Also, messages sent to the group's address are not delivered.

Where can I do this? You can delete groups either in your Admin console or using Google Groups.
