This is one of the most frequently unanswered questions with Elgg users. I’ve seen it numerous times in the various Elgg support venues, and I have been asked many times.

The short answer is that within the Elgg user and administrative interfaces, there is no way. If I am wrong, please correct me. The only approach that I have found is to delete it in the database. Access phpMyAdmin through your cpanel or whatever other way you may have to access your database.

Find elgggroup_entity and select the browse button.

Select the red X to delete the group. That’s it, the group is gone from the user interface. I honestly don’t know if remnants remain in other tables. Hopefully the garbage collector will deal with that.

This is the only answer that I have found. If someone has a better solution, let me know. Hopefully, over time, this will be built into the interface.
