Sorry.  I meant `C-k', which is bound to gnus-topic-kill-group which has
the documentation
 gnus-topic-kill-group is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-topic'.
 (gnus-topic-kill-group &optional N DISCARD)

 Kill the next N groups.

I _think_ I verified at one point in time that this command cleared the
group out of .newsrc.eld.  But... I'm not staking my life on it...
