I tried that before my last message and it didn't work.

root@squid:/etc # groupadd test1
root@squid:/etc # groupdel test1
groupdel: PAM authentication failed
root@squid:/etc #

But after your message I tried it again and it works!
root@squid:/etc # groupadd test2
root@squid:/etc # groupdel test2
root@squid:/etc #

However, doing the same with userdel doesn't seem to:
root@squid:/etc # useradd test3
root@squid:/etc # userdel test3
userdel: error removing group entry
userdel: error removing shadow group entry
root@squid:/etc #
