Over the years of uisng gnus, I have accumulated a number of nnml groups
that can be seen when going into the server but where the corresponding
directory no longer exists.
They are still known to gnus since (I assume) they are still present in
the active file.
Is there a simple and/or safe way to clean up the active file, other
than to edit it directly? It does not appear that the command
gnus-group-check-bogus-groups does anything to nnml groups.
My gnus version is "Gnus v5.13".

Thanks, that will work nicely.
RE RFC3676: I know, I know, I will fix it.
