To the locked subgroups, no. They are locked and inaccessible.

You should still be able to invite new members to the main group, if you aren't already over the 100-member limit.

Can I delete existing members?

Interesting question. You can't delete them from a subgroup, because you won't have access to the member lists there. But you should be able to delete someone from the main group and they'll still automatically be removed from all subgroups (I have not tested this).

Before doing all this, you might want to look into Sponsorships. Your members might surprise you, and contribute enough funds to keep you afloat.

Hi Otto,

free groups can't have subgroups at all, except if they are legacy groups that had subgroups before 15. January 2020. So if your main group is younger than that, you lose visibility of the subgroups if you downgrade to free ( the contents of the subgroups will be kept in case you change to a paid plan again later).

What does "locked" mean?

It means there will be no access unless the group is upgraded.? In some cases, even the owner of the group won't be able to see the information.? See the FAQ and the Owners Manual.

Does it mean that new members can no longer be invited?

I have been searching through the manual ... cannot find the answer.

Thank you for any help.
