# RemoveGroup

The ID of the child Content engine or group to remove.

When you run the `DREREDISTRIBUTE` index action with this parameter, the DIH removes the specified engine and redistributes its documents among the remaining servers.

This parameter is compatible only with mirror mode and simple distribution mode, either with or without `DistributeSendMinimal`. In mirror mode redistribution does not occur because the engines already contain the same documents.

Consistent hashing mode supports engine removal with automatic redistribution, but you do not use this parameter. For information about how to remove engines in consistent hashing mode, refer to the DIH Administration Guide.

You can find the ID of a child server by using the GetStatus action.
