Hi @RASUPreethi-2485

Could you tell me what method do you use to move SharePoint Groups from one site collection to another? Could you find more clues related to the Group cannot be found error in the ULS logs? You can share here for better help.

in Sharepoint site collection is security boundary. Which means that each site collection has own collection of users (SPUser collection) and groups (SPGroup collection). I.e. if you remove specific user (SPUser) or group (SPGroup) from siteColA - it will be removed only in this siteColA site collection. If another site collection siteColB has SPUser which corresponds to the same user (or SPGroup which has the same name) - they will be kept untouched in siteColB.

For your specific problem - try to check target site's groups via PowerShell:

 $site = Get-SPSite http://example.com
 $site.RootWeb.SiteGroups

will these "broken" groups be shown in the output? If yes - try to remove it using PowerShell:

 $groupName = ...
 $site.RootWeb.SiteGroups.Remove($groupName)
