These groups remain in tact and can be accessed by others, but the members in them won&#8217;t know about your decision to remove them. Read on to learn how to remove unwanted members and find out how to make a group inactive. To delete a group on Facebook, first go to your group page and scroll to the bottom of the screen. Next, tap the icon that looks like three stacked lines with a horizontal line.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Archived_groups_remain_in-tact\"><\/span>Archived groups remain in-tact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Archived groups remain in-tact on your Facebook account. If you create a group and then decide to archive it, Facebook will migrate your group to the New Groups format. If you wish to reactivate your group, you can add your friends as members. If you do not add any friends, you can continue to view the group&#8217;s history and keep it updated. Listed below are some tips to keep your group active.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re finished with your group, you can delete it permanently by following a few steps. First, find your group in the Groups You Manage list. Click on the three-dot icon next to the name of the group. From here, you can select the option to &#8220;delete members.&#8221; Delete a group, but make sure to select a timeframe for your group&#8217;s deletion.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Archiving_a_group\"><\/span>Archiving a group<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to delete a group on Facebook &#8211; deletion and archiving. While deletion is permanent, archiving is reversible. If a group is archived, it will retain all of its members, photos, and threads, but will not appear in search results. Likewise, group members who no longer wish to participate will no longer be able to join the group. The only thing you can&#8217;t change is the group&#8217;s description.<\/p>\n<p>To unarchive a group, navigate to its settings page and click the &#8220;unarchive&#8221; button. A confirmation message will appear on the screen. If you want your group to be visible to everyone, you can hide it. Then, select the option &#8220;unarchive group&#8221; on the top right of the group. After you&#8217;ve finished hiding or archiving a group, you&#8217;ll have to delete or unpublish the group before it becomes visible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_a_group\"><\/span>Delete a group<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To delete a group, you first need to find the group. This can be done by going to the Groups menu on your home page. Select the &#8220;Leave group&#8221; option. You can also manually remove all group members. Just make sure that the group is empty before you delete it. Delete a group can be very time-consuming, especially if you have many members. But you shouldn&#8217;t delete the group altogether; keeping it around can be beneficial for your business&#8217;s marketing.<\/p>\n<p>How to delete a group on Facebook? You can either do it manually or use the &#8220;group settings&#8221; feature. You can delete a group as many times as you like. Facebook doesn&#8217;t impose any quotas for group members. Just make sure you know the exact reason why you want to delete a group before you do it. By deleting a group, you&#8217;re deleting all of the group&#8217;s subscribers and the grouped content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_unwanted_members\"><\/span>Delete unwanted members<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In Facebook groups, the admin has the right to remove unwanted members. To do so, visit the group&#8217;s settings and select the members you want to remove. You can also complain to the group&#8217;s manager if the person continues to post inflammatory or illegal content. If the person is a member of a group, you can remove them as well. Once the member has been removed, the group will no longer contain their posts.<\/p>\n<p>To delete an individual member from a group, first select the member&#8217;s name. Then, tap on the Delete button in the group settings. After selecting the unwanted member, you will need to confirm your action. Click &#8220;Remove&#8221; to confirm the action. Once done, your group will no longer contain any members.
