Rogue Posts in News.dat

A while back, I subscribed to a newsgroup that had quite a large backlog on
my ISP's server. I ended up with a large number of posts in my news.dat
file. It seems that when I rmgroup-ed it, not all of the messages in
news.dat had been purged. Is there some way to get rid of these random
posts?

I tried newgroup-ing it with a one day KeepDay, then expiring old
messages 10 days in the future. This did nothing. Any suggestions? I'm sure
there's something really easy that I'm missing.
