In the documentation, click the "Topics" button. Click the main heading 
for "Groups and backgrounds". Read it. Here is an excerpt:

== begin excerpt: ==

Removing a group from every card in the stack does not remove it from 
the stack:  it is still part of the stack and can still be placed on 
cards. You can also use the start editing command to edit the group. 
(Since the group is not on any card, you must refer to it using the term 
"background" instead of the term "group".)

To delete a group completely from the stack, use the delete command, or 
select the group and choose Edit menu Clear. Deleting the group removes 
it from all the cards it appears on, and from the stack itself.

== end excerpt ==
