How do I DELETE a Sub-Group and all of its parts?


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I¡¯ve looked through HELP. I¡¯ve viewed (and attempted) the ¡°Using subgroups¡±, ¡°overview¡±, ¡°creating a subgroup¡±, and ¡°Using subgroup categories¡± sections.

?

I had a specific function ¨C a ¡®50th Anniversary on the job¡¯ party/discussion for one group member. With your help, I figured out how to create a subgroup and exclude that single member of the group from that subgroup, then open the entire topic up to the rest of the group ¨C allowing those who didn¡¯t want to be involved to ¡®opt out¡¯ of that subgroup. THAT worked amazingly well. I can easily see using this procedure to set up ¡®working groups¡¯ for projects, etc. But don¡¯t want to end up with 2, 10, 50 or more subgroups that no longer have any function or use.

?

Now the event is past. And there¡¯s no reason to keep/archive/continue the subgroup or its contents ¨C messages, etc. I just want to Delete the entire subgroup, all of its contents, messages and such. But I don¡¯t see a way to dump it all.

?

BTW, I don¡¯t really understand/comprehend the ¡°subgroup category¡± unit or purpose.

?

In advance, thanks.

On your subgroup, Admin > Preferences > Settings.? Go to the bottom of the page and use the red Delete Group button.

I've never found a use or need for subgroup categories but there is some documentation in the Owner's Manual.

Whew! I did it. You led me to the wording and then to the place I needed to be. I did, however, comment before I did it ¨C and I did it with great reluctance. The button I clicked (as you told me) read ¡°DELETE GROUP¡±!!! But¡­this was a SUB GROUP. That was an uneasy feeling. I commented that, in this case the button should read ¡°DELETE SUBGROUP¡±.

Thanks, Andy.

Any Owner can change it.? A Moderator will need the Modify Group Settings permission:
