rpk group delete

Delete one or more consumer groups from Redpanda brokers. A group must have no active members to be deleted.

Consumer groups are automatically deleted when the last committed offset expires. Group offset deletion can happen through:

  • Kafka OffsetDelete API: Offsets can be explicitly deleted using the Kafka OffsetDelete API. See rpk group offset delete.

  • Periodic offset expiration: Offsets expire automatically when the group has been empty for a set duration.
