Deleting/Paused Ad Groups in Campaigns

Do they have any effect on other ads within

[stickyboy]

Over time I have stopped various ad groups within my campaigns because there not perfoming (either low CTR or no sales resulting), generally I have been doing this by just pausing the ad group. (should they just be deleted?) Are the other ads in the campaign effected in anyway by pausing or deleted any ads.

The ads you pause or delete won't affect the other ads. If you pause or delete a campaign, Then you are affecting the ads within that campaign. Also, once the campaign or ad is deleted. It will never disapear. The only way to not see it is to filter it out by only showing running ads.
