Hide Groups in Outlook
It would be nice to hide or remove the "Groups" on the left Tree in Outlook. And to also hide the Groups in the Address Book.
Note: We use Office 365 with AD Sync. We also use PowerBI Groups which created a whole load of groups. We don't want to see PowerBI groups in Outlook!!!

yes! PLEASE give an option to remove groups from outlook. My company has no need to merge the two and its just giving me too much to look at while trying to schedule multiple calendars.

Please. We add people to groups for permissions for various reasons (access to certain pages) and for these groups to all display to all end users in a big window in the main UI is a problem. Please listen

The amount of wasted space in the left navigation panel in Outlook 365 and Outlook 2016 is ridiculous. It makes it hard to see PST and other accounts because I have to scroll down so far. There needs to be an easy way to hide anything you don't want to see.

There should be an ability to hide or remove the "Groups" folder from the folder pane for those who do not use it or have no use of it. Currently, it takes up quite a bit of space on the screen which would otherwise be used to display more of other items like a shared mailbox or a pst file folder contents.

I want to selectively hide some of the groups that are listed, but still show the groups in which I am active. How do I do that?

Please remove the Groups folder in the folder pane and the space below it. It's a colossal waste of space.

I don't use them, don't need them, and don't want my interface cluttered with things I don't use. "Groups, Focused Inbox, Clutter, etc".. They ALL should be optional if MSFT cares about anyone other than Enterprise customers.

Hi, you can hide them using the Powershell cmdlet Set-UnifiedGroup with atribute HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled (set it to $True), https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt238274(v=exchg.160).aspx
If you want to list them, just use: Get-UnifiedGroup | select Name,Alias,HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled | where {$_.HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled -ne “True”} .
