Delete A Group

AI Integration Quick Reference

// Delete a group (owner only)
await CometChat.deleteGroup("GUID");

Requirement: Logged-in user must be the owner of the group.

Permanently delete a group and all its messages. Only the group owner can perform this operation.

This operation is irreversible. Deleted groups and their messages cannot be recovered.

Use deleteGroup() with the group’s GUID.

TypeScript
JavaScript

const GUID: string = "GUID";

CometChat.deleteGroup(GUID).then(
  (response: boolean) => {
      console.log("Group deleted successfully:", response);
  }, (error: CometChat.CometChatException) => {
      console.log("Group delete failed with exception:", error);
  }
);

const GUID = "GUID";

CometChat.deleteGroup(GUID).then(
response => {
  console.log("Groups deleted successfully:", response);
}, error => {
  console.log("Group delete failed with exception:", error);
}
);

Alternatively, you can use the async/await syntax:

const GUID = "GUID";

try {
  const response = await CometChat.deleteGroup(GUID);
  console.log("Group deleted successfully:", response);
} catch (error) {
  console.log("Group delete failed with exception:", error);
}

The deleteGroup() method takes the following parameters:

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

On success, the method resolves with true (boolean).
