Delete Group

This operation is irreversible. Deleted groups cannot be recovered. All messages and member data will be permanently lost.

To delete a group you need to use the deleteGroup() method. The user must be an Admin of the group they are trying to delete.

Dart

String GUID = "GUID";

CometChat.deleteGroup(GUID, onSuccess: (String message) {
debugPrint("Deleted Group Successfully : $message ");
}, onError: (CometChatException e) {
debugPrint("Delete Group failed with exception: ${e.message}");
});

The deleteGroup() method takes the following parameters:

Parameter	Description
GUID	The GUID of the group you would like to delete
