Groups can be deleted. 

If the group is used (referenced) somewhere, then a pop-up asks for confirmation.

Deletion pop-up asking for confirmation

Tapping OK deletes the group. Tapping Cancel does not perform the deletion.

If the deleted group is used in a recipe, then the reference is deleted, and the recipe no longer contains a selection. Learn more about recipes in the [Recipe topic](/grandma3/2-4/recipes/).

If the group is assigned to an executor and used as a Group Master. Then the executor will be empty after deleting the group. Read more in the [Group Master topic](/grandma3/2-4/group_master/).

The deletion can be oopsed and then the references are back.

This is the general deletion syntax:

Delete Group \["Group\_Name" or Group\_Number]
