unsubscribed news dbx files live forever
 

Why is it that when I "goto" a newsgroup and decide to not subscribe... the
dbx file remains on my computer?

I guess it's just in case you decide to go back later.

Fact of life. Delete the .dbx file and compact.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

Why? No idea.
