For more information on adding and removing Users from a Group, refer to the article Add/Remove Users from Group
The Group Purge option looks for all Groups that are linked to a Courses or Course Templates where the Course or Course Template record is deleted. Once the Courses to which these Groups are linked are no longer valid there is no reason to keep these Groups around any more. This report will allow you to review the list and then delete the Groups one at a time or in bulk.
The Groups in this report do not have a Group type. Ideally, this report will be empty.
You should assign the correct Group type to these Groups and therefore remove them from the exception report, or you should delete them.
