# Delete groups in IAM Identity Center
<a name="deletegroups"></a>

When you delete a group in your IAM Identity Center directory, it removes access to AWS accounts and applications for all users who are members of this group. After a group is deleted it cannot be undone. Use the following procedure to delete a group in your Identity Center directory.

**Important**  
The instructions on this page apply to [AWS IAM Identity Center](https://aws.amazon.com/iam/identity-center/). They do not apply to [AWS Identity and Access Management](https://aws.amazon.com/iam/) (IAM). IAM Identity Center users, groups, and user credentials are different from IAM users, groups, and IAM user credentials. If you are looking for instructions on deleting groups in IAM, see [Deleting an IAM user group](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_groups_manage_delete.html) in the *AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide*.
