You can delete a Roblox group from the group settings page if you are the owner
To delete a Roblox group, you must be the group owner. Log into your Roblox account, go to your groups list, select the group you want to delete, and look for the delete option in the group settings. The process takes about two minutes and is permanent — once deleted, the group name becomes available for someone else to use, and all group data disappears.
Before you delete, understand that this action cannot be undone. Members lose access to the group, any Robux stored in the group's funds are lost, and any games or items associated with the group remain but are no longer connected to it. If you are uncertain, you can also leave a group without deleting it, which removes you as owner but keeps the group intact for other members.
Key Takeaways
- Only the group owner can delete a group; if you are not the owner, you must ask the owner to do it or transfer ownership to yourself first.
- Deleting a group is permanent and cannot be reversed, so make sure no one else needs access before you proceed.
- Any Robux in the group's funds will be lost when you delete the group, so withdraw group funds to your account first if the group has money.
- The group name becomes available when ready after deletion, and any games linked to the group will no longer show group affiliation.
Step-by-step: Delete your group
Start by logging into Roblox on a computer or mobile device. Go to your profile by clicking your username in the top right corner, then select Groups from the menu. Find the group you want to delete in your list and click on it to open the group page.
Once you are on the group page, look for the Settings button or gear icon, usually located near the top right of the group header. Click it to enter the group settings. Scroll down until you see the Delete Group button, which is typically near the bottom of the settings page. Click this button, and Roblox will ask you to confirm that you want to delete the group. Read the warning message carefully, then click Confirm or Delete to complete the action.
What happens to group funds before deletion
If your group has Robux in its funds, those funds do not transfer to your personal account when you delete the group — they are straightforward lost. Before you delete, withdraw any group money to your personal account so it is not wasted. To do this, go to the group settings, find the Revenue or Funds section, and look for a withdraw or transfer option.
The amount you can withdraw may be limited by Roblox rules or by how the group funds were earned. Some groups cannot withdraw funds if they were generated through specific methods. Check the group funds page to see the current balance and any restrictions before you proceed with deletion.
If you are not the group owner
If you want to delete a group but you are not the owner, you have two options. First, you can contact the current owner and ask them to delete it. If the owner is inactive or unreachable, you can request ownership transfer through the group settings if you have the permission level to do so — this depends on the roles the owner has set up.
If you cannot reach the owner and do not have transfer permissions, you cannot delete the group yourself. In this case, you can leave the group by going to the group page and clicking Leave Group, which removes you from the member list but does not affect the group itself.
Alternatives to deleting: Leave or transfer ownership
If you are not sure about permanent deletion, consider leaving the group instead. When you leave, you are removed from the member list, but the group stays active for other members. To leave, go to the group page and click the Leave Group button. This is useful if other people depend on the group or if you might want to rejoin later.
You can also transfer ownership to another member instead of deleting. Go to group settings, find the Owner or Leadership section, and select a new owner from your members. This keeps the group alive and lets someone else manage it. Transfer ownership if the group has value to other people but you no longer want to run it.
Common problems when deleting a group
The most common issue is not being able to find the delete button. On mobile, the settings menu may look different — scroll all the way to the bottom of the settings page, as the delete option is often placed there. If you still do not see it, make sure you are logged in as the group owner, because the button only appears for owners.
Another issue is forgetting to withdraw group funds before deletion. Once the group is deleted, the Robux in the group's account is gone and cannot be recovered. If this happens, contact Roblox support through the help page on the Roblox website, though they rarely restore deleted group funds. The best approach is to withdraw everything before you click delete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover a group after I delete it?
No, deletion is permanent. Once you delete a group, it cannot be restored. The group name becomes available for someone else to use when ready. If you deleted a group by mistake, contact Roblox support right away, but recovery is not may provide.
What happens to games I made for the group?
Games you created for the group remain in your account after deletion, but they are no longer listed as group games. They become personal games under your name. Any group-specific settings or permissions on those games may change.
Do group members get notified when I delete the group?
Members do not receive a notification, but they will notice the group is gone when they try to visit it. They lose access to the group page, chat, and any group-only features. If the group was important to them, let them know in advance.
Can I delete a group if I have not logged in for a long time?
Yes, as long as your account still exists and you are the owner, you can delete the group. Log back into your account, go to your groups, and follow the deletion steps. Your account does not need to be active or in good standing to delete a group you own.
What if the group has a lot of members?
The number of members does not affect your ability to delete the group. All members will lose access when you delete it, regardless of how many there are. If the group is large and active, consider notifying members beforehand or transferring ownership instead.
