# Deleting resource groups from Amazon Resource Groups
<a name="deleting-resource-groups"></a>

You can use the [Amazon Resource Groups console](https://console.amazonaws.cn/resource-groups) or the Amazon CLI to delete resource groups from Amazon Resource Groups. Deleting a resource group does not delete the resources that are members of the group or tags on member resources. It deletes only the group structure and any group-level tags.
