Groups to delete
20 March 2009, 5:58
Hi!
Sorry, but I can't delete existing groups with my admin account.
For explanation: In this group there are no members at the moment, because I have deleted the members who have been in there.
Do I have to delete groups directly in the database?
Thanks for helping.

Hi - yes, you'd probably have to do some editing in the database, as we don't handle this case at the moment. There is a bug report about it.

Hi, can someone give me a quick tutorial on how to delete an orphaned group in the database? I just inadvertently caused this (I had this tiny voice in the back of my head telling me it wasn't a good idea to delete a user without deleting the group they created first, but I failed to listen...).

It's probably best to add yourself as a group admin, and then go and delete the group on the site. For example if your user id is 33 and the group id is 44 then something like this should give you admin rights in the group:
INSERT INTO group_member ("group", member, role, ctime) VALUES (44, 33, 'admin', '2009-08-19');
