How to delete a Facebook group via a web browser
The process to delete a group on FB is not hard, however, if the group you want to delete has many members, then it might take time. Because first, you need to remove group members one by one. So if your group has thousands of members, then that will be a massive hassle.

• Choose the option Groups that is located on the left side menu
• Find the group you want to delete and click Members
• Click the three-dot (…) then choose Remove member > Confirm
• Go through the same process and remove each individual member
• Once you’ve deleted all the members, click (…) next toyour name and select Leave group > Delete Group and your group will be deleted
How to delete a Facebook group via the Facebook mobile app
It would be a lot better if Facebook had a feature so its user could delete a group with a simple click but that is not possible for now. That being said, if your FB group has only a few members then deleting it is not going to be painful.
The process to delete your FB group via the app is also similar and here is how to do it:
• Open the Facebook app and tap the Menu icon
• Select Groups then go to Your groups
• Tap Groups you manage, then choose the group you want to delete
• Tap See All > select a member > choose Remove from group > Confirm
• Remove all the members of your group and then go back to your group and choose Manage
• Scroll all the way down and tap Delete Group > again tap Delete Group
