+# Delete a local group
+
+This API lets a server admin delete a local group. Doing so will kick all
+users out of the group so that their clients will correctly handle the group
+being deleted.
+
+
+The API is:
+
+```
+POST /_matrix/client/r0/admin/delete_group/<group_id>
+```
+
+including an `access_token` of a server admin.
