Recovering a deleted group

Steve Doyle All Messages By This Member #47531 I have some questions about a deleted group and hopefully someone can advise me. ? The owner of our group deleted the group without warning and now regrets.? C'est la vie.? However, I am not able to simply recreate the group.? Apparently it is frozen for some period of time. ? Can I recover the deleted group?? How long do I and the existing members (who are wondering what happened) have to wait to re-create at least a "what the heck" page to explain the situation? ? TIA, Steve D. KHRC Moderator

However, I am not able to simply recreate the group.? Apparently it is frozen for some period of time. I have never heard of anyone who was able to create a new group under the same name as the one that's been deleted. So the operational word I would use here for the period of time that the name will be frozen is "indefinitely." ? If you think you might want to resurrect a group, the standard advice here is to rename the current group to something unintelligible prior to deleting it. Since that was not done, you're kinda out of luck. ? Can I recover the deleted group?? Even if you had a complete backup/export, this function is not available. How long do I and the existing members (who are wondering what happened) have to wait to re-create at least a "what the heck" page to explain the situation? Indefinitely. ? You cannot create a page or anything else under the old group's URL. Your best bet is to create a brand new group under a similar name and manually notify everyone about it. ? Sorry, Bruce Check out the groups.io Help Center?and?groups.io Owners Manual
Margo Seegrist All Messages By This Member #47533 "Can I recover the deleted group? " ? Bruce answered your questions about whether you can recover it (which is a no) but here's my thought... ? Maybe you could even use the same name but add a 1 or 2 to it and let the group know to add a one or 2 to the previous name.? If they are like me, the old name will stay in their head when they want to go to it but by adding the number, they'll know that if it didn't work with the old name, it will clue them in to add the 1 or 2. ? Hope that helps. ? Sincerely, ? Rli@...
Steve Doyle All Messages By This Member #47540 Ok, thanks Bruce and Margo.? I'm not surprised, but I had to ask. ? Kind regards, Steve ? ?
