Help to delete a Group

[Your_White_Knight]

So we're able to make Steam Groups...

Why can't we un-make a Steam Group?

Oh sure I can leave it, but that doesn't delete it. I made one a while ago and it's still just me in there and I can't even change the name to make it into a different theme for a Group...

Why did Valve / Steam make it easy to make Groups and impossible to delete them?

Any help would be appreciated

Step 1: Make the group private membership only.
Step 2: Kick everyone except yourself(hope you're admin/owner).
Step 3: Leave the group
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit!!! (Steam will delete an empty group)

No idea why they designed it that way, but yes, groups that have nobody in them are automatically deleted.

See here:

"Deleting Groups
When all members have left a group, the group will automatically be deleted by the system. Groups cannot be manually deleted."

O.k.... thank you DarkCrystalMethod and Peppermint Hollows for the help.

No problem, but if the auto-cleanup script they run hadn't worked today (lots of random pieces of steam are broken) then I was prepared to reply with "GOTTEM!". I'm glad it worked today, but thats server-side not the steam client itself. I had no doubts.
