Version/Release/Distribution

$ rpm -q freeipa-server freeipa-client ipa-server ipa-client 389-ds-base pki-ca krb5-server
freeipa-server package is not installed
freeipa-client package is not installed
ipa-server-4.6.8-5.el7.centos.6.x86_64

Additional info:

We've searched in the dirsrv logs. We can see the creation of the group ('ADD') but not the deletion ('DEL')

We prefer to use issue tracking for bugs and use the upstream mailing list for user support.

In this case the group is probably a private group associate with a user. These don't display with the default group-find settings in the UI and CLI. There is an option in both to show private groups, e .g. ipa group-find --private
