[list.netnws-l] Old files not being deleted

Chris Wooff <QQ43@LIVERPOOL.AC.UK> (02/21/90)

I have  an batch of  old GROUP  and VLIB files  on the disk  which should
have been deleted by the daily  purge, but haven't. No doubt this problem
stems from when I  had difficulties in starting up. Is  it save to simply
ERASE these by hand?

If the groups still exist in NETNEWS GROUPS (but just currently have no
articles in them), then no, don't erase these files.
