Tips
- To leave a group that you don't create or manage, simply go to the members page, find and select your name, then select “ Leave Group ” (“Leave Group”).
- Each member must be deleted individually. You don't have the option to bulk delete members. If the group you manage is large enough, try taking the time to browse through and remove each member.
