You need to obtain the node reference to the user group and use the nodeService to delete the node.

Hi Spizzico,

I see that you're using Alfresco 2.9. I was not as "fortunate" to use that version. My experience has been in 3.0 and I don't know what the differences are. In 3.0, you can utilize the AuthorityService to delete the user group. There is an overloaded (one cascades, while the other does not) method AuthorityService.deleteAuthority(....) that you can use to delete the user group.

Hello, for Alfresco 3.2r2 I delete User Groups

public StringBuilder deleteGroup(String alfrescoAxisUrl, String groupName)
         throws AccessControlFault, RemoteException {

      StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

      AccessControlServiceSoapBindingStub accessControlService = WebServiceFactory
            .getAccessControlService(alfrescoAxisUrl);

      AuthorityFilter authorityFilter = new AuthorityFilter();
      authorityFilter.setAuthorityType(GROUP);   
      String[] deleteAuthorities = {Constants.GROUP_PREFIX + groupName};
      accessControlService.deleteAuthorities(deleteAuthorities);

      stringBuilder.append("Delete Group");
      stringBuilder.append("\n");
      return stringBuilder;
   }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
