groupdel: Delete an existing group.
$ sudo groupdel ${group_name}
try on your machine

The command "sudo groupdel ${group_name}" is used to delete a group from a Linux system. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "sudo" is used to execute the command with administrative privileges. It allows the user to perform actions as a superuser or another user with administrative rights.
  • "groupdel" is the command that removes a group from the system.
  • "${group_name}" is a placeholder variable that represents the name of the group you want to delete. It should be replaced with the actual name of the group you wish to remove.
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
