When I delete a group it moves it’s messages to be private messages with only the one that sent it, effectively making them “lost”. (In this case I wanted to see what happened), maybe discourse should warn about this, or not allow without moving them out first? ---

Not sure what a good way to handle this is @sam? ---

Sure, it would be a good idea to warn! ---

정말 정말 정말 늦게 답변드려서 죄송합니다. @vinothkannans 지금 이 기능이 어떻게 작동하는지 검토해 주실 수 있을까요? 만약 여전히 엣지 케이스라면, 그룹 삭제 시 "나쁜 일이 일어날 것"이라는 경고와 함께 부트박스(bootbox)를 띄우는 방식으로 처리하면 됩니다. @carlokok 메시지를 추적하고 계신다면, 데이터 탐색기([data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true)) 쿼리를 사용하는 방법을 활용할 수 있습니다. ---

아니, 정말… 자, 방금 이 기능을 테스트해 봤는데, 실제로 여전히 메시지들이 고아(Orphan) 상태가 됩니다. 여기 텍스트를 변경해야 해요: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/c/ac0f33c0757ffe8c81c43752e987742f76cae70f.png) > 이 그룹을 삭제하면 78개의 메시지가 고아 상태가 되며, 그룹 멤버들은 더 이상 해당 메시지에 접근할 수 없습니다. > > 정말 삭제하시겠습니까? ---

아래 PR에서 이제 수정되었습니다 > > > Currently, after destroying a group its messages are inaccessible to everyone. O…nly admins can access using direct URLs. ---
