Pressing M-g should do the latter.  Completely ignoring .newsrc.eld
would be useful (I would want to get rid of that file completely, but
that's a long-term goal), but I'm not sure it is possible.  The data
in there is used by lots of functions, and there is no good API to the
data.  (Originally, I guess this was a feature, but I'm not sure it is
today.)
