How To Delete A Group In Outlook 365

Once a group has outlived its purpose, the owner of the group (the person who created it), can delete it to free up resources and to remove the group from being listed or displayed.

Having said the above, there is a caveat: When you delete a group, you are permanently removing everything related to your group, (i.e., conversations, files, the group notebook, and Planner tasks). If you delete a group accidentally, you can ask your IT admin to recover the group within 30 days of it being deleted. ~ Source
