Facebook – How to delete a Facebook group now

facebookfacebook-groups

I am the sole admin of a private Facebook group. I would like to delete it but can't find out how. If I click on the 3 dots there's the option to archive or leave, but not delete. I would like all the content, including posts, to be deleted. If this is possible, how is it done?

I tried Google searching but haven't found a good answer. For example this makes it sound like once you've manually removed all members then there will be the option to delete?

From Facebook Help Center page:

If you're an admin of a group, you can delete or archive it. Groups are deleted when they have no members. Deleting a group is a permanent action that cannot be reversed.

To delete a group:

From your News Feed, click Groups in the left menu and select your group from Groups You Manage or by searching for it.

Click Members below the name of the group.

Click on ... next to each member's name and select Remove member.

Click Confirm.

Once you’ve removed the other members, click next to your name and select Leave group.

Click Leave Group.

Note: If you're an admin, you can't delete a group you didn't create unless the original creator chooses to leave it. Group members aren't notified when you delete a group.

At the top right of photo posts on a group wall, there is a down-arrow that has 4 options under it - Delete Post, Delete & Remove User, Hide Post, and Report.

Clicking Delete is supposed to work, but occasionally with Facebook glitches, it remains visible to everyone else in the group.

'Hide Post' will not delete the photo from the albums, but it will stop showing on the group wall.
