You can use C-k in the group buffer to delete the group from the list,
and then s to save your changes.  As always in gnus there might be a
better or more proper way, but that works for me.

Another thought is G <DEL>, but I haven't tried that for usenet
groups...

Nope.  Tried 'em both ...nada.  But, thank you.

I believe that the ! informs the reader not to fetch new messages for
that group. In general, I notice that the groups are not removed from
the list (shown with L) but they do not appear to be added to the lists
for which Gnus fetches and checks for new messages. If you change your
view instead to the view provided by hitting l, I think you will
discover that only groups with new messages are displayed, and thus the
unsubscribed groups are never listed.

As noted by another post, using C-k works well to remove them from the
groups. :-)
