I use `C-k', which only removes a group entry from the newsrc
database. OTOH, `G DEL' also removes local files associated
with a group (if a user wants it). A back end that has local
files that it exclusively uses has generally the group deletion
feature. The reason that the nndoc back end does not offer the
group deletion feature is that files it uses are considered to
be not for only the back end.
