In the *Group* buffer, when I hit `C-u G DEL' on a group, which is
supposed to delete a group and all of its contents, it doesn't
delete the group from my backups on CD. Just kidding. What
it does miss are the .mrk and .nov files, and I think they
should go. Also, the groupname~ backup file should probably
be deleted as well. (On the other hand, I think it is correct
that the .SCORE file remains, since it contains user supplied
data that the user might want to copy to another group.)

I'm not sure. It is a backup file for a reason. What do people think?

The patch didn't apply for some reason, but applying it manually
make Gnus work. Thanks!

How about a variable to control this, with values t, nil and 'query?
With the default set to query or nil.
