# Description

Handle the deleteGroup message if you want to perform cleanup before a group is removed from the stack.

The actual deletion is not triggered by the deleteGroup message, so trap the message and not allowing it to pass does not prevent the group from being removed.

Deleting the last card on which a group appears does not remove the group from the stack, so it does not cause a deleteGroup message to be sent.

Ungrouping a group does not cause a deleteGroup message to be sent.

A deleteBackground message is sent after the deleteGroup message.
