Description Vincent Untz 2007-07-23 12:13:49 UTC 
I didn't find any way to remove a group. I've just reorganized all my contacts and now I have many empty groups I can't remove.

Right, the remove option is not implemented yet.

Should be really easy to implement, just remove all contacts from the group and Close() the channel.

Removing the group from your account's server is CM's decision and depends on features of the protocol. I think it's not possible for every proto.

Seems someone from GHOP is working on this bug. Just a note to help him a bit for how it should be done:

a new function should be added to EmpathyContactList interface, just like rename_group. That function should be implemented by EmpathyContactManager and EmpathyTpContactList. The UI can then call something like empathy_contact_manager_remove_group(manager, group);
