The following AWS SDK for Java example deletes the Storage Lens group named `{{Marketing-Department}}` in account `{{111122223333}}`. To use this example, replace the `{{user input placeholders}}` with your own information.

```
package aws.example.s3control;

import com.amazonaws.AmazonServiceException;
import com.amazonaws.SdkClientException;
import software.amazon.awssdk.auth.credentials.ProfileCredentialsProvider;
import software.amazon.awssdk.regions.Region;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.s3control.S3ControlClient;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.s3control.model.DeleteStorageLensGroupRequest;

public class DeleteStorageLensGroup {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String storageLensGroupName = "{{Marketing-Department}}";
        String accountId = "{{111122223333}}";

        try {
            DeleteStorageLensGroupRequest deleteStorageLensGroupRequest = DeleteStorageLensGroupRequest.builder()
                    .name(storageLensGroupName)
                    .accountId({{accountId}}).build();
            S3ControlClient s3ControlClient = S3ControlClient.builder()
                    .region(Region.{{US_WEST_2}})
                    .credentialsProvider(ProfileCredentialsProvider.create())
                    .build();
            s3ControlClient.deleteStorageLensGroup(deleteStorageLensGroupRequest);
        } catch (AmazonServiceException e) {
            // The call was transmitted successfully, but Amazon S3 couldn't process
            // it and returned an error response.
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SdkClientException e) {
            // Amazon S3 couldn't be contacted for a response, or the client
            // couldn't parse the response from Amazon S3.
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
