Delete a Group

Groups can be deleted if you no longer need them in your MailChimp list. All list actions are permanent, and can't be undone, so be sure you want to delete the group.

When you delete a group, we don't delete any subscribers from your list, but we'll remove subscribers from the groups and delete the groups from your account. To remove subscribers from your list completely, you can delete or unsubscribe them from your lists.

In this article, you'll learn how to delete a group name or group category from your list.
