Use the red Delete Asset Group button in the lower-right panel of the asset group page. A confirmation window opens titled "Delete Asset Group". Because a group rarely lives in isolation, this window first shows you everything connected to it. Any inspection reports are listed with who created them, when, and their status. If the group is part of any automations, those appear with their ID, date, and status, and you're warned that the group will be removed from any scheduled or in-progress automations. Recurring-service tasks tied to the group are listed too, with their folder, date, and status. This is your chance to see the full impact before committing. To actually delete, you must type a note explaining why you are removing the group. The Delete button stays disabled until that note has content, so an accidental click can't go through. Once you confirm, the asset group and its assets are deleted and you are taken to the property the group belonged to. The note you entered is recorded with the deletion. Because everything here is permanent, review the linked inspection reports, automations, and recurring-service tasks carefully before you delete. > **Where to find it:** On an asset group page, the red "Delete Asset Group" button in the lower-right panel. Clicking it opens the "Delete Asset Group" confirmation, which lists linked items and requires a note before the Delete button activates. ## Related guides * [Add or bulk-add assets to an asset group](/field-operations/assets/add-or-bulk-add-assets-to-an-asset-group.md) * [Asset groups and assets: terminology and screen labels](/field-operations/assets/assets-vs-asset-groups-vs-asset-items-the-terminology.md) * [Editing, reordering, and deleting assets](/field-operations/assets/editing-reordering-and-deleting-asset-items.md) * [Recurring service templates and template groups](/field-operations/assets/recurring-service-templates-and-template-groups.md) * [See and browse all your asset groups (the Asset Groups page)](/field-operations/assets/see-and-browse-all-your-asset-groups-the-assets-page.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://learn.withessential.com/field-operations/assets/deleting-an-asset-group-and-what-it-removes.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
