Delete
sudo groupdel [group_name]
说明
groupdel removes a group entry from the system. It modifies /etc/group and /etc/gshadow. The named group must exist. You may not remove the primary group of any existing user; the user must be removed first. Files owned by the deleted group retain their numeric GID but lose the group name association. You should manually check all file systems to ensure no files remain owned by the deleted group.
