I have created a new group in Empathy IM by right-clicking on a contact, then Edit and Add Group.

How do I remove a group?

UPDATE:

OK, obviously Murat Gunes answer is correct, but that's not exactly what I meant. When I right click on the group name and select Remove it removes the group from the main window.

However, the group is not purged from the system. When I right-click on a contact again and select Edit, I can still see the group in the list and I can even put a contact into that group, which then makes it appear again in the main window.

Right-click the group title and hit "Remove".

  • That's right, but it does not remove it from the system. See my update above.

You may need to remove them for Windows Live (possibly from the web client, or the Windows client itself) in order to have them permanently gone...

Do what Murat says and then restart Empathy (not just closing the window, but really quit it, then start Empathy again).

  • Groups are still present with rightclick->Edit.

  • They aren't for me... Are you sure there were no more contacts with that group left? (E.g. contacts that were hidden because they weren't online?)

  • Yes, there is only one contact in the group. This is needed, otherwise the group won't show up in the main window. Then I rightclick->Remove and the group disappears. Then exit and restart and the group is still there when rightclicking on contact and Edit.
