I now have over 22 hundred groups displayed in the Microsoft News Server
folder in Outlook Express. Each group contains hundreds of messages. I want
to delete this file and/or the saved messages which are accumulating and
which I do not use. They take valuable space if I am online or off.
Thanks for your help

In OE, use the Menu Tools / Accounts... / News tab then
select the News account(s) and then click Remove. This
will unsubscribe from the news-server completely.

If you only want to unsubscribe from certain newsgroups
but retain some others, right-click on the news-server in
the Folders pane on the left and select "Newsgroups...".

You may also need to use Windows Explorer to navigate to
where Outlook store these files and delete them. Use the
OE Menu Tools / Options... / Maintenance tab / Store
Folder... to find where they are. Be careful that you
don't delete the files for Outlook Folders, Inbox, Sent,
etc ...

BTW, you posted to the wrong newsgroup. This newsgroup is
for Microsoft Access, a database application. Please post
to the Outlook Express newsgroup in the future.
