Glad to see we display a clear message when you try deleting. I wonder though if removing the button will cause its own confusion. “Why do some groups not have the delete button?”

I’m not opposed to hiding the button, but would we want to instead grey it out like we do the delete button on the category edit page? Or include text noting that automatic groups can’t be deleted?
