why did you left the group vs why had you left the group

"Why did you leave the group?" is the correct phrasing. The use of the past simple tense "did leave" is appropriate for asking about a completed action in the past. The phrase "Why had you left the group?" is not commonly used in this context.

This phrase is incorrect. The verb "left" should be in the base form after "did" (leave).

"why did you left the group"

The correct form is "Why did you leave the group?" when asking about a past action that is completed.
