I am using Gnus with IMAP to read my mail and after trying to delete a
message with 'B <backspace>' (gnus-summary-delete-article), I get the
following message:
Expiry recovered 0 NOV entries, deleted 0 files, and freed 0.000000 B.
It doesn't sound good. Any idea what this means? Did it fail to delete
the message? I'm using Gnus 5.10.6. Thanks.

This message is from `gnus-agent-expire-done-message', i.e. it is
related to the expiry of the agent cache. I think[1] it has nothing
to do with your previous `gnus-summary-delete-article' command.
`gnus-summary-delete-article' deletes immediately.
Bye, Reiner.
[1] I don't use the agent myself, so I might be missing something.

OK, thanks. I checked and the messages are being deleted. It is still
annoying. Do you know where I should look to get rid of the message or
fix whatever is wrong? Thanks.

I think nothing is wrong there. Maybe the message level (confer `C-h
v gnus-verbose RET' [1]) is too low: It is at level 4.
[ I cannot judge if the levels in gnus-agent.el should be adjusted.
Kevin (Cc-ed in this message), could you comment on this? ]
When you set `gnus-verbose' to 3 or less, the expiry message will
disappear, but this also makes other parts of Gnus more quiet.
Bye, Reiner.

Well, the gnus-agent-expire* functions were originally written for
manual (i.e. administrative) use. I added the status messsage because
it was rather hard to tell whether the enough groups had been expired.
Since that time, agent expiration has been linked into article
expiration (gnus-request-expire-articles). This was done to actually
fix a bug in which expired articles kept reappearing in the summary
buffer.
You find the message to be annoying. Can you indicate how annoying?
I can easily change the message level but I'll probably annoy those
users who expect the message to appear. Still, re-reading
gnus-verbose for the Nth time, I probably should have made this a
level 6, or possibly 7, message rather than the current 4.

Not very. As long as I understand where it is coming from, that will
help.

I would not request any changes here. Thanks.

As the default of `gnus-verbose' is 7, it would be okay to adjust the
levels for consistency.

Maybe you implemented it before `gnus-verbose' got its doc string
(there was just a comment previously).
Bye, Reiner.
