Deletes all group members from a facebook group except yourself. Leaving the group after running this in the javascript console will delete the group. Tested on Chrome May 29, 2017. If your network is super slow, you might want to increase the timeout delay.

The code does work. It was used to delete a group of about 13,000 members in about 8 hours. Multiple people ran it.
- Make sure you edit the excludedFbIds and enter your own Facebook ID so it doesn’t delete you first. You can find it here: http://findmyfbid.com/.
- Edit the last line of the above.There are 2 ways to execute the program: the one above deletes group members whose first name begins with a thru m. You can change the range to something else. The other way is to remove everything between the parenthesis and the program will delete everything. i.e.: deleteAllGroupMembers.start()
- In Firefox, You need to go to the group you want to delete. You must be an admin.
- Click on Members.
- Open the Tools | Web Developer | Web Console.
- Copy/Paste the code in the JavaScript console. It could fail after a while. Reload it.
