OK, I see that now. I had seen it was a list of group titles, but did not realise it also stored the accessed articles.

The headers you download are stored in .pan2/groups/ and could
easily be deleted, of course, but you'd have to download them
again every time you visit the group. Kind of expensive for binary groups.

I was not planning/suggesting deleting by default each time (I am not that paranoid!) but it seemed like a good thing to have the options for.

Still, should be trivial to have a script that would do the necessary file clear/delete actions.
