Deleting Groups
If you are sure that you will never again want to use a particular group, you can delete it. Once a group is deleted, you lose all permissions assignments that have been specified for the group.
To delete a group, right-click the group and choose Delete from the context menu. You will see a warning that after a group is deleted, it is gone for good. Click the Yes button if you're sure you want to delete the group.
If you delete a group and give another group the same name, the new group won't be created with the same properties as the deleted group because as with users, groups are assigned unique SIDs at the time of creation.
Perform the following steps to delete the group that you created in the previous steps:
- Open the Admin Console MMC shortcut you created and expand the Local Users and Groups snap-in.
- Expand the Groups folder.
- Right-click the App Users group and choose Delete.
- In the dialog box that appears, click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the group.
Creating users and groups is one of the most important tasks that we as IT members can do. On a Windows 7 machine, creating users and groups is an easy and straightforward process.
Because most of the Windows 7 machines that you deal with will be part of a domain, you might need to create these users and groups as domain users.
