As already mentioned, it's a personal choice. I keep my newsgroups fairly
well trimmed down, but don't normally delete all the posts. I delete
selectively, starting with the oldest. I click on the top post that I don't
want, hold down the Shift key, then click on the bottom post I don't want.
When they darken, I lift my finger from the Shift key and hit Delete. This
dumps the old, dead posts and keeps the newer ones around for follow-up
viewing.

How often should I flush all the data cache (posts and headers) for
newsgroups for the OE newsreader?
1GB dual channel RAM, free reign swapfile, GBs of freespace. News group
downloads is set at 1000 max per group. Only the headers are auto
downloaded.
