How to delete everyone from a WhatsApp group - in detail?

Deleting all participants from a WhatsApp group is a straightforward process that can be accomplished in a few steps. It's important to note that only the group administrator has the authority to remove members from the group. Here’s a detailed guide on how to delete everyone from a WhatsApp group:

  1. Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device. Ensure you are using the latest version of the app for optimal performance.
  2. Access Group Settings: Navigate to the group from which you want to remove all members. Tap on the group name at the top of the chat screen to open the group information page.
  3. View Group Members: On the group information page, look for the "Members" or "Participants" section. This will list all the current members of the group.
  4. Remove Individual Members: Tap on each member's name one by one to open their profile within the group. At the bottom of the screen, you should see an option that says "Remove [Member’s Name] from Group." Tap on this option to remove the selected member.
  5. Confirm Removal: WhatsApp will prompt you to confirm the removal. Tap "OK" or "Remove" to proceed with removing the member from the group. Repeat this process for each member listed in the group until all members have been removed.
  6. Exit the Group (Optional): Once all members have been removed, you may choose to exit the group yourself. To do this, tap on the three dots (⋮) at the top right corner of the screen, select "Group Info," and then tap "Exit Group" at the bottom. Confirm your decision by tapping "Exit."

It's worth noting that after you remove all members from a group, the group itself will still exist but will be empty. If you want to delete the group entirely, you must first ensure that there are no other administrators remaining in the group besides yourself. Once all members have been removed and you have exited the group, it may be possible for WhatsApp to automatically dissolve the group if no active participants remain.

By following these steps, you can effectively delete everyone from a WhatsApp group, ensuring that only you, as the administrator, retain control over the group's existence.
