Bulk Delete Users from a Group
Is there any documentation on how to delete multiple users from a particular group?

i guess no such doc unless it is deactivation via automation rules:

Hi Migel and Bhaskar,
Users can be removed from a group manually, via automations, via workflows, or by modifying your group rules. Here is a link to the documentation that explains how to uses group rules. Depending on the number of users to be removed from the group and what common attributes they share, this task may be as simple as making your group rules more specific: https://support.okta.com/help/s/article/How-to-add-and-remove-users-from-groups-using-group-rules-and-exceptions
As mentioned, workflows is another option: https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Workflows/connector-reference/okta/actions/removeuserfromgroup.htm. I recommend reaching out to your account executive if you are unsure if you are entitled to leverage the tool.
I hope this information helps!
Best,
Sara

I'm not sure I'm on the same page. I get that manually can be done but with hundreds of users that would be too much.
For Bashakar and Sara:
From my findings this isn't possible with workflows. The only action a workflow can do is to change a user's lifecycle. I'm open to your idea of what else a WF can do.
As for group rules, it appears that it would work. However, I'm also wanting to remove users in a Deactivated state and it appears that the rules don't apply to users in this state upon testing.

No. I'm trying to remove them from a group not delete them from OKTA. Fortunately the group was just a container I was using for an automation job so I just blew the group away and recreated the group. I then put the users I want back in the group and kept the ones I didn't want out.
