How to Delete Your Own Telegram Group or Channel – Telegram Group Management

telegramtelegram-group

I've created a group and a channel on Telegram, but they're no longer in use.

I can leave a group/channel, but it doesn't solve my problem.

How do I remove them completely?

I've tried Telegram Desktop v1.5.4 on Windows.

Best Answer

I've found it by following these steps (in Telegram Desktop v1.5.4 on Windows):

  1. Go to View channel/group info by clicking a triple-dot icon.
  2. Go to Manage Channel/Group by clicking a triple-dot icon.
  3. Click on Channel Info.
  4. Delete channel/group.

On Android app (Telegram X), the following steps should work:

  1. Tap on the channel/group title.
  2. Go to Manage Channel/Group by clicking a pen icon.
  3. Choose Destroy channel/group by clicking a triple-dot icon.
