Delete Facebook group - how it works

If you have created a group on Facebook, for example due to a one-time event, it can also be deleted later. Just as you can leave a Facebook group that you have only joined. Read here how it works.

Delete self-founded group on Facebook

If you are the administrator of a Facebook group yourself and would like to delete and delete it, there is not just a "Delete group" button for this, but you have to be a little more complex.

• First delete all group members of your group. You can do this in the "Edit group" area. There you go to "Members" and can now delete each member by clicking on "Remove from group".
• As admin you can now click on "Leave group" under the options behind the small wheel in the top right corner of your group. Since you are now the last member, the group is completely deleted when you leave.

Delete group as a member of Facebook

Basically, it is not possible to "delete" a Facebook group that you just joined. However, if you no longer want to be a member of this group in the future, you can of course leave the group - and this is how it works:

• Open the group you want to leave.
• Now go to the options area, which is behind the small wheel in the upper right corner of the group. There, click on the "Leave group" button and confirm this.
