Can you rename the subgroup before deleting it?
That's a good point, and I should have thought of it. In Yahoo Groups (and no doubt Groups.io) renaming a group does not reserve the old name.
If the same holds true for Groups.io subgroups then you could rename the subgroup to something arbitrary before deleting it. That way you can pick any arbitrary name to make non-reusable, leaving the desired name free for reuse.

That is a good point, but it's too late in our case. We deleted the group already, with a series of consequences that we didn't anticipate (and which I have documented in another post here on GMF, soon to be approved, I hope). Those consequences have completely convinced me that the use of subgroups - at least as currently implemented - will not work for us, and thus the renaming issue isn't one I have to worry about, even though we should have thought of it.
That said, I'd need to look to see if there is even a way to rename a subgroup. Honestly not sure of that. ? :)
