bug#9958: 24.0.91; Gnus agent needs a command to remove downloaded articles |

User-agent: |
Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.0.91 (gnu/linux) |
Package: Emacs,Gnus
My ~/News directory ballooned to several hundred megabytes since I
switched from Emacs 23.3/No Gnus 0.17 to Emacs 24/Gnus 5.13 six weeks
ago. I found out this is because the agent stores copies of the full
articles, rather than just the headers, under ~/News/agent, as requested
in bug #8502. Note that I don't use IMAP, just NNTP (Gmane).
While this probably makes sense, there should be an easy way to clear
the cache and free up disk space. I ended up running
find ~/News/agent -name "[0-9]*" -delete
which is not what people should have to do, IMHO.
