Thanks.  That did it.  This is one of the examples where I find gnus
complicated.  Strange things happens and it is hard to figure out what
to do.  Maybee part of the reason is that gnus is made for news.

Well, it's made for email too...  and that command works on nnfolder:
articles too.

I have this in my ~/.gnus file,

  (gnus-define-keys gnus-summary-mode-map [f9]  gnus-summary-delete-article)

I use it a great deal to delete received email messages that I
don't want archived; it is just easier for me to have it bound
to a function key.  One handy thing is that you can set the
mark, and move the cursor down the list in the summary buffer to
mark multiple articles, and then use gnus-summary-delete-article
to remove all of them.

What do you do with emails you want to keep? 
How do you use expire? if at all?

Gnus default is to keep mail.  You have to set some action for it to
be expired so one way is to put things you want to keep in a group
with no expiry setting.

Another is to `tic' messages.  Some expiry settings such as
auto-expire will ignore tic'ed messages.

More elaborate automatic scoring, or splitting to non expiry groups
can also be arranged.

It will take some manual reading and posting questions to use any of
those. 

>From group buffer:

C-c C-i g <ret> group parameters <ret>

Will get you started.

The trick with email is to sort it into *many* different
groups.  Each mailing list, each regular correspondant,
topic, or whatever you can figure out how to distinguish
should be tossed to a separate group.  Ultimately there is
a catch all group that gets everything not specifically
selected.

I manually delete the garbage in the catch all group.  I
archive all the others.  For groups with lots of traffic
I put it into an archive and restart the group twice a
year, for others it's once a year, and some of them get
so little traffic that they might have articles that are
several years old...
