In Group Maintenance, use the Delete Entire Group section of the window to remove the entire group. The following guidelines are important when considering deleting an entire group:
- Upon deleting an entire group, the group will be disabled for 30 days. NOTE: Disabled groups are displayed in red in your group search lists; these groups will not be editable
- The group can be re-enabled with the 30-day period
- On Day 31, the disabled group will be deleted and not retrievable
- This applies to Teams / Outlook groups and any files associated with that group
