How do I Remove Existing Product Attribute Group ID when Re-Installing Magento?

If you have uninstalled your QuickBooks Commerce - Magento integration, and you are attempting to reinstall it, you may face the following roadblock!

During the Setup & Import phase of your installation process you may encounter an issue regarding an existing product attribute group, which will prevent you from integrating:

This happens because you have an existing “QuickBooks Commerce Options” product attribute group in the “QuickBooks Commerce” product attribute set, in your Magento account (from your previous installation).

As a result, QuickBooks Commerce is unable to create or retrieve the product attribute group ID, which is required for integration.
