The NEWS directory consists of files with numbers for names (like
9686 and 9717). A printout of these files shows that each one
consists of the text of several newsgroup articles. (I assume that
this is the main storage area for downloaded articles).
The problem is that some of these numbered files contain articles for
newsgroups that I have long-ago unsubscribed from. I'm guessing that
I may have unsubscribed before expiring all of these groups' articles,
so they are just sitting there taking up hard-drive space.
Questions:
--(1) Is there a command which will rid me of these albatrosses? or...
--(2) Will I cause any problems for YARN if I just manually delete
these files or delete sections of them with a text editor??
Your wisdom and experience will be much appreciated
