Key classes	`Group` · `CometChatException`
Prerequisites	SDK initialised via `CometChat.init()` and a logged-in user via `CometChat.login()`.

Delete Group

To delete a group you need to use the deleteGroup() method. The user must be an Admin of the group they are trying to delete.

Deleting a group needs a connection — with offline support enabled, deleteGroup() is not queued for later. After it succeeds, the group’s conversation and cached messages are removed from the on-device cache when the group-deleted event arrives or at the next reconnect sync; any messages still queued to it are then reported as failed with reason discarded. See Send While Offline.

Dart

String GUID = "GUID";

CometChat.deleteGroup(GUID, onSuccess: (String message) {
debugPrint("Deleted Group Successfully : $message ");
}, onError: (CometChatException e) {
debugPrint("Delete Group failed with exception: ${e.message}");
});

The deleteGroup() method takes the following parameters:

Parameter	Description
`GUID`	The GUID of the group you would like to delete
