C-k, with or without prefix, never delete groups on the server.  It
merely unsubscribe you from the group, i.e., remove the group from
.newsrc.

G DEL doesn't delete articles without a prefix argument, which I
believe is properly documented.  One could argue that G DEL on an
empty group should remove it, but if someone feels strongly about it,
submit a patch.
