# Use `DeleteGroup` with an AWS SDK or CLI
<a name="iam_example_iam_DeleteGroup_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `DeleteGroup`.

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To delete an IAM group**  
The following `delete-group` command deletes an IAM group named `MyTestGroup`.  

```
aws iam delete-group \
    --group-name MyTestGroup
```
This command produces no output.  
For more information, see [Deleting an IAM user group](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_groups_manage_delete.html) in the *AWS IAM User Guide*.  
+  For API details, see [DeleteGroup](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/iam/delete-group.html) in *AWS CLI Command Reference*.

#### [ JavaScript ]

**SDK for JavaScript (v3)**  
 There's more on GitHub. Find the complete example and learn how to set up and run in the [AWS Code Examples Repository](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/javascriptv3/example_code/iam#code-examples). 

```
import { DeleteGroupCommand, IAMClient } from "@aws-sdk/client-iam";

const client = new IAMClient({});

/**
 *
 * @param {string} groupName
 */
export const deleteGroup = async (groupName) => {
  const command = new DeleteGroupCommand({
    GroupName: groupName,
  });

  const response = await client.send(command);
  console.log(response);
  return response;
};
```

#### [ PowerShell ]

**Tools for PowerShell V4**  
**Example 1: This example deletes the IAM group named `MyTestGroup`. The first command removes any IAM users that are members of the group, and the second command deletes the IAM group. Both commands work without any prompts for confirmation.**  

```
(Get-IAMGroup -GroupName MyTestGroup).Users | Remove-IAMUserFromGroup -GroupName MyTestGroup -Force
Remove-IAMGroup -GroupName MyTestGroup -Force
```
+  For API details, see [DeleteGroup](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/v4/reference) in *AWS Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet Reference (V4)*. 

**Tools for PowerShell V5**  
**Example 1: This example deletes the IAM group named `MyTestGroup`. The first command removes any IAM users that are members of the group, and the second command deletes the IAM group. Both commands work without any prompts for confirmation.**  

```
(Get-IAMGroup -GroupName MyTestGroup).Users | Remove-IAMUserFromGroup -GroupName MyTestGroup -Force
Remove-IAMGroup -GroupName MyTestGroup -Force
```
