You mean there is a way other than CLI / `groupdel` to delete a group? E, wow, never thought of that. (:-)

You can always vi /etc/group and delete a group. It's dirty but allowable. ;)
Frankly speakly, you can do all these tasks I mentioned yesterday via vi, chown and a mkdir action in the home directory area.
For the first three items, I yank/paste a previous line and then modify.
#vi /etc/passwd
#vi /etc/shadow
#vi /etc/group
#mkdir home_dir
OR rename existing home_dir
#mv old_homedir newhome_dir
#chown -R newuser:group newhome_dir
#passwd -r files newuser
