# Remove Members From All Groups

This job was previously called: Remove from All Groups.

This job removes contacts from all groups in the system. The contacts are selected from the system-wide database with a mandatory selection.

Removal from all groups cancels all group memberships in the system. The contact receives no further emails from the system unless he is again added to a group. Address and profile data are not deleted for this contact. Group-specific data (member attributes and group membership statistics) are deleted for this contact.

A group owner who is also a member of the group can be removed as a member and still retain ownership of the group. Group managers, deactivated recipients, and members (any status) are all deleted if they are included in the selection.

> Removing members does not affect the group statistics, and no confirmation messages are sent.
> 
> As an alternative, you can unsubscribe members from all groups in the system (see [Unsubscribe Members From All Groups​](/v1/docs/unsubscribe-members-from-one-group)). An unsubscribe is recorded in the group statistics.
