This page is for administrators who manage groups for an organization. To manage groups for your own account, visit 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.
