How do I close a group?

If you are the founder of a group, you can choose to close a group. However, before closing your group, consider reaching out to another member to see if they are interested in running the group in your absence. If your group is active, the members of the group may not want to see it closed.

To close a group:

  • Visit the group you want to close and click on the three-dot menu on the bar at the top of the group.
  • Select “Close Group” from the list that appears.
  • You will be taken to a request form asking you to supply info related to why you want to close the group.

Once a DeviantArt team member has reviewed your application, they will determine whether or not the group will be closed. If further information is required for a decision to be made, you will be contacted accordingly via notification.

Requests to close groups are regularly reviewed, but there is no set time period for when a group will be closed. Your patience accordingly is appreciated.
