Unsubscribing from a dead newsgroup

[Scott Griffitts]

I understand that you unsubscribe from a group by selecting the group in the
list and clicking unsubscribe. The group in question, though, no longer
shows up in the list. I suppose wiping out the news server in Accounts
would do the trick but that seems a little drastic, considering all the
newsgroups I would have re-subscribe to.

Refresh your Groups List and see if there's some kind of Nuke Dead
Groups option.

How is that drastic? It's dead. If you want to keep the messages, then move
them to a folder before delete the ng.

Wouldn't wiping out the news server account get rid of all of the 50+
newsgroups that are alive and kicking that I am subscribed to along with the
one that's dead?

Are they all from the same server?

Does refresh list work?

Wiping cache does not get rid of lists, but it will download old messages.
You can then sort by Date and mark as read.
