DESCRIPTION
sndelgroup
deletes the specified newsgroups; i.e. everything under
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup
after removing the article ID entries in the sn database.
Do not use the shell command
rm -rf
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup
because that will leave unreclaimed garbage in the database.
You will need to own /var/spool/sn in order to do this.

the default news spool directory.
