Receiving my own messages from a group
hey guys,
I think you might be talking about different groups.
so, Deleted what kind of group are you talking about? is it a distribution group or a Office365 group?If it is a Distribution Group that's the expected behavior. Exchange processes DG as a list of emails so if you are a member you will also receive your email.
On the other hand if you talking about Office365 groups, you shouldn't be receiving your own emails in your mailbox as mentioned by Salvatore Biscari and Ravin Sachdeva
hope this helps.

I was referring to the behaviour of Outlook as a “stand alone” and not part of the 365 suit.
This behaviour is however new to me, as it changed when I updated my office suit 2 months ago.
Can it be changed in settings?
If you are doing a reply all, Outlook should remove your address from the reply, but if you are sending to a Contact Group/distribution list, it won't remove your name from the group (never has). If you are sending to a mailing list group, the group settings control whether or not you get a copy back.
Use rules to remove messages sent from your address. (blocking your address as a sender should also work, if you never send yourself legitimate email.)
The only way I can think of is creating a rule to delete messages where the sender is you.
