# Delete a package group
<a name="delete-package-group"></a>

You can delete a package group using the CodeArtifact console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).

Note the following behavior when deleting package groups:
+ The root package group, `/*`, cannot be deleted.
+ The packages and package versions that are associated with that package group are not deleted.
+ When a package group is deleted, the direct child package groups will become children of the package group's direct parent package group. Therefore, if any of the child groups are inheriting any settings from the parent, those settings could change.
