If you have used emacs' own customisation methods, the customised
variables will be in the file specified by custom-file.  If you have not
changed this variable, and hence is nil (the default), the
customisations will be in your user-init-file which is ~/.emacs, again
by default.  In whichever file is used, you will see emacs lisp which
starts:

  (custom-set-variables
   ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.

you can delete any line you wish to remove the customisation.  You can
also use "M-x customize-group RET gnus RET" to look at all the
variables.  Each one can be reset to the default value.

As Rainer does, I also avoid using this approach and set my variables
directly in my .gnus.el file so that I have everything in one place.
