# Bulk Remove Students from Existing Google Classrooms with GAT Flow

[**GAT Flow**](https://gatlabs.com/knowledge/tech-tips/flow-overview/) enables [Google Workspace Super Admins](https://workspace.google.com/) and [GAT Flow Delegated Auditors](https://gatlabs.com/knowledge/tech-tips/gat-flow-delegated-auditor/) to efficiently manage Google Classrooms by removing students as needed. Whether removing individual students or groups collectively.

The deletion process can be performed collectively for all classrooms in which individual users study, or only for specific classrooms.

## Create a workflow to Remove Students from Google Classrooms
