Leave Your LinkedIn Groups in Bulk
LinkedIn requires you to leave groups one at a time. Redact can leave many groups in one run. You can leave every group or filter the list by group name.

Groups you are a member of
Leaving a group does not unfollow it.
LinkedIn stores group memberships and follows separately. Select Follows as well to stop the posts too, remembering that Follows covers your whole follow list and not only the groups you are leaving.
Reasons to leave old groups
Remove group memberships you no longer need
Old group memberships can remain associated with your account after you stop using the groups. Redact helps you review and remove them.
Remove outdated memberships
Groups related to a former industry, employer, or interest may no longer reflect your current work.
Stop group posts from appearing in your feed
Leaving a group does not unfollow it. Select Follows as well to stop seeing the posts, and note that Follows covers every company and group you follow.
Leave many groups together
LinkedIn requires you to leave each group separately. Redact can leave many groups in one run.
What this feature does
Leave groups and unfollow them in one run
Select Groups to find and leave group memberships. LinkedIn stores group memberships and follows separately, so leaving a group does not stop its posts from appearing in your feed. Selecting Follows in the same run unfollows as well, but Follows is a list of its own: it covers every company and group you follow, narrowed by the Text Filter rather than by the groups matched here.

Group filters
Leave every group or filter by name
LinkedIn does not provide a date or like count for a group membership. The date range and Engagement Filter do not apply, but you can filter memberships by group name.
Groups
Include the groups you belong to. The Preview shows each group's member count.
Name filter
The Text Filter matches group names.
Follows
Select Follows to unfollow as well, so the posts stop appearing in your feed. Follows reads your whole follow list, every company and group, narrowed by the same Text Filter and not by the groups matched above. With the filter empty it unfollows all of them.
Deletion options
Choose how to review and leave groups
Preview
See every matching group before Redact leaves any group.
Deletion
Leave every matching group in one run.
Review and Delete
Review the matching groups and keep any membership you want.
Schedule
Save the settings and run them again later.

Download for your device →Install Redact on your device. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus iOS and Android.
- 2
Connect your LinkedIn account
Open Redact, choose LinkedIn, and sign in. Redact connects to LinkedIn from your device, so Redact's servers do not receive your login details.
- 3
Select Groups
Select Groups in the Things to delete list. Select Follows as well to stop the posts from appearing in your feed, but use the Text Filter unless you also mean to unfollow every other company and group. LinkedIn stores memberships and follows separately.
Redact is free to download, but you need the Ultimate plan to use it with LinkedIn. The plan also includes Slack, GitHub, Email, Stack Exchange, Medium, and Yelp.
- 4
Filter by group name if you want to
Add a group name to the Text Filter. Leave the filter empty to include every membership.
LinkedIn does not provide a date for a group membership, so the date range has no effect. A run can include memberships from any date.
- 5
Preview, then leave
Run a Preview and check the results. Use Review and Delete if you want to keep specific memberships, or switch to Deletion to leave every matching group.
Redact processes group memberships on your device
Redact connects your device directly to LinkedIn to read and update group memberships. Redact's servers do not receive information about your groups.

Frequently asked questions
Connect LinkedIn in Redact, select Groups, and leave the Text Filter empty to include every membership. Run a Preview, check the results, and then switch to Deletion. You need the Ultimate plan to use Redact with LinkedIn.
No. LinkedIn stores membership and following separately, so you can still follow a group after you leave it. Selecting Follows with Groups unfollows in the same run, but Follows covers your whole follow list, companies included, narrowed by the Text Filter and not by the groups you are leaving. Leave the filter empty and it unfollows everything you follow.
No. LinkedIn does not notify the group or its administrators when you leave.
Yes. You can request to join the group again. A group that requires administrator approval will need to approve your new request.
Use the Text Filter and enter a word from the group names. Redact includes only groups whose names contain one of your terms. Run a Preview to check the results before you leave any group.
