Recovering a deleted group?

Question

Is it true that if you create a list, and it is deleted, that the same name for the group may not be used again? The deletion of the group/ and group name is permanent?

Answer 1

it takes a while for those group titles to be recycled, but it will be able to be reused again, just as ID's are.

depending on who deleted the group, and how long ago it was, Yahoo has been known to reinstate them

Answer 2

No,  because I just started a group using a name of a group that was deleted.  If a group is deleted there is no way to recover it.  I'm not sure how long you have to wait to use the name again.

Answer 3

As far as I know, once  a group is deleted, you lose everything that was in it: photos / files / links etc. But after some time you can use the group name because it is free now...
