I had to remove all of a particular group’s termsets and to do this I ended up calling the Group’s delete function.

Managed Metadata Migration

Managed metadata is a formal taxonomy classification system. A taxonomy groups the words, labels, and terms that describe something, and then arranges the groups into a hierarchy.

The first common question for migration is, where actual the term store data are stored. The short answer is, everything important is stored in Managed Metadata SQL Database of the service application.
