Deleting a Dedicated Group

You can delete an empty dedicated group you created and that you no longer need.

A dedicated group can be deleted only if no VM or Net is in the dedicated group. Otherwise, you need to force its deletion.

If you force the deletion of a dedicated group:
- All VMs in the dedicated group are terminated. For more information, see Terminating VMs.
- All Nets in the dedicated group are deleted, and all resources associated with the Nets are detached. For more information, see Deleting a Net.
