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​). An unsubscribe is recorded in the group statistics.
