I see two solutions to this.  The first is to introduce a delete group
operation which will the backend to delete the group. much like B-DEL
does to articles, the other is to expand bogus groups deletion to
the mail backends so they will consider mail groups that does not have
the corresponding files as bogus groups, then you can use b to delete
unwanted mail groups.
