Any way to dissolve timeline groups?

When I select two or more contiguous timeline items and then right-click on my selection, there's an option to "Create group" which all it seems to do is group the items into a collapsible group, to keep the timeline manageable. The problem is that I can't find any way to dissolve the group once it's been created (other than to undo). Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Just fond the answer, I used the wrong terminology when searching the forums. Basically, collapse the group, right-click > Delete.

Thanks, just what I needed.

 

Regarding being specific: ultimately you must be specific but through the secondary prompt. OK, but sometimes it is helpful to indicate a secondary prompt exists by using elispis (,,,) on the primary prompt. Please, consider the use of elipsis for this and other situations where there is a secondary prompt.

Thank you! Thanks! Not the most obvious solution, "delete" is usually associated with removing actions.

Indeed -- I saw DELETE there, but I never imagined that DELETE would ungroup the items. Most unfortunate naming. Alas, it's still this way.

Apart from the alarm bells in selecting delete, I get this dialogue which says to me that everything is going be deleted including any downstream references. Where is the option to delete the group and reinstate the individual features of the group?
