How to delete a Google Group when you no longer need it, using your Google profile

Google Groups is a platform where you can bring people together to have discussions, host question and answer sessions, organize emails, and more.

It's great for team projects, classmates, departments, or any other group of people who need to work together in an organized space.

While the feature can be very convenient, if you create a Google Group for a temporary project, you may eventually want to delete it to free up space on your page.

After you delete a group, it will not show up in search results, or in the Google Groups directory. Be careful, however, as once you delete a Google Group, there is no way that it can be restored.

Here's how to delete a Google Group that you no longer need:
