Accidentally Deleted a Group in Zendesk? Here's What to Do
What should I do if I accidentally delete a group in Zendesk?
If you accidentally delete a group in Zendesk, you'll need to recreate it and reassign tickets manually.
Unfortunately, once a group is deleted, it cannot be restored. You'll need to create a new group and manually reassign any tickets that were previously assigned to the deleted group. It's also important to update any business rules that referenced the old group to ensure they function correctly with the new group.
