Deleting a Group Library

yaelzr
I have searched high and low and I cannot find a button/option/menu that allows me to delete a group library. I have several libraries shared with research assistants from which I have copied what I need, and which I no longer need otherwise. How can I delete them? (I am the one who created them)

    You can't delete the group from inside the client: it's done through the website. In the client, double-click on the (brown) folder icon for the group. In the online view of the group, click on "Group settings", and you will see a red "Delete Group" button in the page. After deleting the group on the website, syncing should remove it from your Zotero client.

    I have tried to perform this "Delete Group" operation and I get an error..."Server Error...Something went wrong processing your request".

    Apparently you have to delete the items in the group library and empty the trash bin before you can delete the group. It worked for me, anyway.

    I also get the server error. There is nothing in the trash and nothing in the group library. Furthermore, the website says I have 40 MB of space being used in the group library even though it's empty! Nothing seems to be working so far...

    athir: Sorry about that — try again now.
