Deleting Your Own Group

Log in to the Account

You first need to log in to your account on Facebook. Once you are logged in, search for your group by typing in the group's name in the search box. You will find the link to your group popping up. You need to click it, to open the group page.

Edit Member List

You need to go to the 'Edit Members' page and select each member of the group. I know it maybe a bit tedious, but you have to click the 'X' next to each member. Then, select 'Delete' and remove all members of the group. Make sure you are the only member present in the group.
Then you need to go to the group's page and click on 'Leave Group'. You will find this tab on the left sidebar of the group's page. With that, you are essentially done.
Remember that you have to delete each and every user, including yourself, as a member of the group. Only then will you be able to get rid of the group for good.

Deleting a Group That You've Joined
