Deleting multiple empty Google contact groups

My beloved Google Contacts suddenly have ~300 empty "Starred in Android" groups. Not sure how or why they showed up, but many people who have the very same problem are pointing fingers at Nook, and yes, I was using a Nook at the time it occurred.

Anyway, there does not seem to be an easy way to delete all these empty contact groups except manually one by one, which I simply refuse to do. So I wrote a simple script for Google Apps Script to solve the problem. The script is listed below.

Disclaimer: I have tested the script many ways, but please use at your own risk !

To run simply:
- Go to https://script.google.com,
- Start a blank project, and copy/paste the script below
- Run once with ContactsApp.deleteContactGroup commented out (as is)
- Press Ctrl-Enter to view logs to make sure everything looks fine.
- Uncomment the ContactsApp.deleteContactGroup line, and run again to delete empty groups.
- If you want to remove all empty groups independent of name, uncomment the line referencing "Starred in Android"

Nifty,
Thomas
