I’ll introduce the response I received from official support regarding how to delete all past forum archives in Google Groups.
By unchecking “Archive messages to the group” under Manage > Information > Content Management > Archive > Options, you can configure not to archive forums afterward, but past archives will not be deleted.
Unfortunately, there is no button to delete past archives in bulk, but by following the steps below to select all topics, you can delete topics relatively easily.
That’s all from the Gemba.
