Dear all,
I noticed that 'News' dir is growing to 45M now and as I searched in
this dir, I can't find any useful files. I'm wondering is it harmful
to remove this dir?
I'm using No Gnus v0.6 (2006-10-20)

Usually the biggest amount comes from the agent data (~/News/agent/).
AFAIK those date will be recreated without any loss.
The following stuff comes to my mind:
Not recreated:
- drafts, delayed and queued articles (`nndraft-directory')
- score files (`gnus-kill-files-directory')
- cached articles (`gnus-cache-directory')
Recreated:
- marks files (`nntp-marks-directory'); recreated from ~/.newsrc.eld
- agent data (`gnus-agent-directory'); recreated from the NNTP or IMAP
server?
I might be a good idea to extend this list and add it to the manual.
Bye, Reiner.

That clears my concerns. Thank you.
