❗️The procedure below permanently closes your groups from Meetup. If you're looking to delete and erase all of your data from Meetup instead, please refer to the dedicated article Organizer account deletion requests. |
If you accidentally created a group and no longer want to manage it, you can take steps to delete it from your account.
Closing a group will remove all traces of it from Meetup. Members will no longer be able to access photos, discussions, or the list of members. We recommend stepping down instead.
If you step down, your community can continue to flourish! You can either nominate a new organizer from your group or let us invite members of your community to step up and keep the group going.
If you are a Pro organizer and want to remove your groups without canceling your current subscription, you can reach out to our Customer Support. Be sure to include the links to the groups you want to close in your request.
Alternatively, if you’d also like to cancel your subscription, you can follow the cancellation subscription flow, which allows you to choose whether to close, step down, or transfer your groups independently.
If you are instead a Starter or Standard organizer, you can follow these steps to close and delete your group:
- Start by letting your members know you intend to close the group so everyone has time to save any photos or contact other members.
- Open the group you’d like to close in your Meetup account.
- Click on Manage Group.
- Tap on Transfer group ownership.
- Choose whether to transfer the group to another member who could step up as new organizer or click on Do you want to close your group instead?.
- Follow the further cancellation questions and steps.
- At the end of the whole process, click on Close group permanently.
- As soon as the flow has ended, you’ll see a green banner confirming the cancellation of your group.
❗️❗️If you do not wish to lead any Meetup groups and would like to stop your experience as an organizer, you will also need to manually cancel your subscription to ensure you are no longer charged. To do that, follow the steps listed in the article Canceling a recurring subscription.
