This article explains how to permanently delete a Facebook group, and how to pause (previously called "archive") a Facebook group so that you can reactivate it at a later time. Instructions apply to Facebook on a web browser and the Facebook mobile app.

To delete a Facebook group, the creator must remove all members and then leave the Facebook group themselves. Performing these actions will permanently delete the Facebook group. You can delete a Facebook group in a web browser or via the Facebook mobile app.

From your Facebook homepage, select Groups. (In the Facebook app, tap Menu > Groups.)

Under Groups You Manage, select the group you want to delete. (On the mobile app, tap Your Groups.)
