Device group management.

A device group is a collection of devices. Device groups provide a way to scale deployments to many devices. Each device belongs to exactly one device group at a time. A device group is automatically created when a Device Update-enabled device is connected to the hub and reports its properties.

az iot du device group delete

Delete a device group.

Device groups are not automatically cleaned up but are retained for history purposes. This operation can be used if there is no need for the group or need to retain history for it. If a device is ever connected again for a group after the group was deleted it will be automatically re-created with no history.

az iot du device group delete --account
                              --gid
                              --instance
                              [--resource-group]
                              [--yes {false, true}]
