If you joined the group and it still exists the all you need to do is click Leave Group link underneath the groups logo.

If you are the creator/admin of the group then this is simple but long winded but it does work.
  1. Delete all the members from the group (if you have alot of members this can take along time)
  2. Then leave the group yourself as you will be the last member left the group will then be closed for you by the API.



If you want leave a group that facebook has banned for breaching the code of conduct or that has be suspected or being a virus like the infamous fancheck application which had the gid="107680294572" this needs to be requested via the facebook webmaster as you can't get into the group to click leave.
