Delete groups using SP Client object model

Question

I'm trying to delete groups and Sites from Sharepoint using COM.

 Ex: Listitem i = ........;     i.DeleteObject(); 

Now, in my code , I'm using this snippet:

   foreach (Group grpsSP in collGroup)
            {

                if (grpsSP.Title.Equals((grup.PK_Site).ToString() + "-1"))
                {

                    grpsSP.
                    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

                    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
                }
            }

but on the grpsSP object I don't find any reference to a Delete() method. Has anyone any idea about witch classes should I invoke to get the delete method? thanks!

You need GroupCollection.Remove and Web.DeleteObject

Here is an example of looping through all groups:

using System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;

namespace Microsoft.SDK.SharePointFoundation.Samples
{
    class GroupCollectionExample
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            string siteUrl = "http://sharepoint";

            ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
            Web site = clientContext.Web;
            GroupCollection collGroup = site.SiteGroups;
            clientContext.Load(collGroup);
            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
            Console.WriteLine(collGroup.Count);
            foreach (var g in collGroup)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(g.Title);
            }
        }
    }
}
