Please clarify, you want to remove the groups component? You can do that in Settings > BuddyPress > Components, uncheck “User Groups”, click Save and you’re good to go.
Hi
No I want to be able to cancel certain groups that members create. The problem is that my site is for Uk dance but members keep starting groups for other things.

As super_admin you can access any group admin and delete it if he’s not appropriate to your site theme.
Or you can make it private or hidden.
You can also when on site admin go to settings > buddypress > settings tab and uncheck Enable group creation for all users.
This allows to keep group creation open. Now, if a user want a group, he had to ask you to do that for him, so you will have better control what people do on your site.
