Sorry to hear this.

Well, there are really only two places to look in my experience: ~/News
and ~/Mail.  I don't have any mail stored locally (ignoring for the
moment my use of the agent) as all of my mail and news are on external
servers (imap and nntp).  In any case, why does this matter?  Apologies
if this has already been asked...  Use gnus and let it store emails
where it wishes?

Simply unsubscribe and don't get hung up with the fact that the group is
still present in the data structures.  This won't interfere in any way.

I am not sure what this means.

Maybe you don't like the answers, which is your option of course.

It could also be that you are trying to have gnus behave like those
other MUAs and that path is not the easiest...
