NAME
       sndelgroup - delete an existing sn newsgroup

SYNOPSIS
       sndelgroup newsgroup...

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

       You will need to own /var/spool/news  in order to do this.

FILES MODIFIED
       /var/spool/news/{.chain,.newsgroup}, newsgroup directory and contents,
       /var/spool/news/.ougtoing/news.server.name:port

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of
              /var/spool/news, the default news spool directory.

SEE ALSO
       snnewgroup
