Little Disk Space

Gnus Manual. Node: Little Disk Space

The startup files can get rather large, so you may want to cut their sizes a bit if you are running out of space.

`gnus-save-newsrc-file`	If this is `nil`, Gnus will never save ``.newsrc`'---it will only save ``.newsrc.eld`'. This means that you will not be able to use any other newsreaders than Gnus. This variable is `t` by default.
`gnus-save-killed-list`	If this is `nil`, Gnus will not save the list of dead groups. You should also set `gnus-check-new-newsgroups` to `ask-server` and `gnus-check-bogus-newsgroups` to `nil` if you set this variable to `nil`. This variable is `t` by default.
