Can't delete group

    Same problem. I cannot delete a group that I no longer need. Very frustrating.

    Same here. I can't delete an unused group, and I receive various server error messages when I try. I need to reclaim file storage from that group but can't delete items in the library that are stored on the Zotero server, either. Even though I deleted all items and attachments in the desktop Zotero client, the changes won't sync to the server (no errors, the deletions just don't sync). If I try to delete items through the web library interface, nothing happens (using the trashcan button).

    Deleting groups should now be fixed. Sorry for the delay.

    @dstillman Still unable to delete a group. Is there a process to delete other than clicking the 'Delete Group' button?
  • fcheslack
    Javascript can't be disabled. You should get a confirmation dialog after clicking, and the group would be deleted after confirming.

    @michaelstec: Can you try this again, and post here if it still fails?
  • michaelstec
    @dstillman Thanks for responding. I tried again to delete the group using the confirmation dialog box and the group has not been deleted.

    Same problem here, I can't delete my own group: https://www.zotero.org/groups/2464309

    No confirmation screen after trying to delete, just an error.

    I feel like an idiot. I can't find a way to delete my empty groups either on the desktop client (most recent build) or the web client. I read the documentation but couldn't find an answer. A couple of posts mention a "delete" button. I can't find that. Any help would be appreciated.

    From groups page (https://www.zotero.org/groups/) > Manage Profile > Delete Group (this will only show up if you're the group owner)
