Hey KevinKK,
I might not be too much help as I don't use groups myself, but I know where you can see a list of groups in the drawing file.
If you type in "_clean" and check the "Show referenced entities" button you can see the list of groups.
I did some research and also came up with a command line varient to see the list: group/Name/?/*
Found this "gem" in the help file:
Further digging found this which I think should fix your dilema.

Selecting a single entity will select all entities of the group, unless the object selection mode Single has been used.

F1 pulls up the draftsight help file in a popup window. It can be a pain to find things there, but there are quite a few gems hidden if you look for them.
