Thanks, it helped -- I didn't think of moving marks away.  After
investigating contents of .marks files I managed to clear them all:

 $ echo '((read))' > foo ; find ~/News/marks/news.task.gda.pl -name .marks -exec dd if=foo of={} \; -print

(news.task.gda.pl is name of my server).

Shouldn't gnus-group-clear-data clear marks files too?
