Tips & Warnings

As you have noticed, when you delete your community you created in Google+, it only takes few seconds. Think twice before you will delete the group because you are not able to recover the community or group.
Make announcement to your members. Just post in your community and tell them you need to delete the group. Tell the reasons why you need to.
If in case, you have no time to moderate post because your Google+ community has lot of members and lot of post needed to review, ask some of your members to become a moderator.
