Many people ask that question every day. It&#8217;s not always that simple though. If you&#8217;re in charge of a group, you can easily delete unwanted members by entering the group settings and selecting the members you want to remove. Alternatively, you can file a complaint with the group&#8217;s administrators about the annoying contacts you&#8217;ve received. Regardless of how you choose to delete a Facebook group, make sure to follow these steps carefully.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_delete_a_Facebook_group\"><\/span>How to delete a Facebook group<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To delete a Facebook group, you must first be an admin of that group. This action is permanent, and all members of the group will not be notified. However, you can archive a group before it is permanently removed. Archived groups remain visible for a limited time. After archiving, you can still access group content and threads. Just make sure to click &#8216;confirm&#8217; on the confirmation pop-up window. Deleted groups are permanent and cannot be recovered.<\/p>\n<p>To delete a Facebook group, go to the home page of the group, otherwise known as the News Feed. Click on the &#8220;Groups&#8221; menu on the left side of the page. Then select the &#8220;Delete group&#8221; option. Once you have completed the deletion process, you can remove the members of the group. To delete a group, you must have a majority of the members&#8217; approval. If you don&#8217;t wish to delete a group, you can also manually remove each member from the group.<\/p>\n<p>Once the group is deleted, all members will not be notified. The group will no longer receive notifications from you. This will cause no harm to the group&#8217;s members, and you will no longer receive any group notifications. To delete a group, click on the icon with three stacked lines and horizontally. This will also remove all members from the group. If you decide to delete a group, make sure to contact the other members to let them know.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Archive_a_Facebook_group\"><\/span>Archive a Facebook group<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can archive a Facebook group if you no longer want it to be visible to other members. This action prevents other members from posting and inviting others to join. You cannot retrieve deleted groups, but you can re-archive it if you wish. This method is effective only if you know how to properly archive a group. This article will show you how. Continue reading for tips on how to archive a Facebook group.<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to be an admin. Once you create a group, you must be an admin. If you do not, you will be automatically archived. To prevent this, you must choose &#8220;Archive Group&#8221; from the list of options, and remove the group&#8217;s members. You must also be the group&#8217;s admin to remove members. If no one manages a group, Facebook will delete it. However, you can reactivate the group and invite members back.<\/p>\n<p>To archive a Facebook group, you must be an admin of the page where the group is located. When you click on the paused group page, you will see a message indicating that you are pausing the group. You can also click on &#8220;Resume&#8221; to resume the group. This step differs from the one above. To resume the group, you must be the admin of the group. It is important to remember that pausing a group doesn&#8217;t mean that it&#8217;s being deleted. It&#8217;s just a temporary suspension of the page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Un-archive_a_Facebook_group\"><\/span>Un-archive a Facebook group<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to un-archive a Facebook group, you must be the administrator of the group. When your group has no members, Facebook will delete it. However, you can change the privacy settings to make it private for members only. To learn more about group privacy settings, read our article. Unarchiving a Facebook group is a good option if you want your group to remain private. It&#8217;s important to note that group deletion is permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Archiving a Facebook group has a number of downsides. For one, it is temporary, and the feature will be deprecated in 2021. If you&#8217;re not comfortable with the idea of keeping your group around forever, you can delete it or re-brand it. However, you shouldn&#8217;t worry too much because there are several alternatives to archiving a group. We&#8217;ll cover a few of them below.<\/p>\n<p>Archiving a Facebook group is an excellent option if you&#8217;re taking a break from business, and you don&#8217;t want to worry about new members joining the group. The benefit of archiving your group is that you can still access the content and threads. Unlike deleting, archiving will not appear on Facebook&#8217;s search results, and it&#8217;s possible to undo this step. On the other hand, deleting a Facebook group is permanent and will delete all of its threads and content.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Lj6rVMGey4\" height=\"258\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Delete a Facebook Group?
