How bulk remove groups

[Asif Shah]

Is there a way to bulk remove groups?

I tried using BobSwift CLI but got no where!

Tried to nest the commands like mentioned for some other examples, like this:

acli --action removeGroup --group "--action runFromCsv --file groups_export.csv"

Obviously gets error: "Remote error: The group named '--action runfromcsv --file groups_export.csv' does not exist"

1. It seems like you don't have a command for removeGroups
2. also group can only get one variable, cannot get multiple group names as it is treated as a single name.
3. Cannot pass a names from csv or nest a command!

I was able to use the following to create a batch file that iterated through the group names from a csv file: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Bulk-delete-JIRA-projects-groups-users/qaq-p/162104

It did require some modification and it still didn't catch all the groups. I removed the remaining manually.
