See how 6. UNSUBSCRIBING FROM CLARINEWS GROUPS IN PINE

Unsubscribing from a single group

Unsubscribing from a newsgroup is easier than subscribing to it was! Simply highlight the group name in your list of folders and type D (Unsubscribe). When you are prompted to confirm your request, type Y (Yes). To cancel your request, type N (No). 

Unsubscribing from multiple groups

It is not possible to invoke the List command to unsubscribe from more than one newsgroup in Pine. For this reason, the only one way to remove a number of groups is to clean out your newsgroups altogether. You should do this only if you have a very large number of subscribed newsgroups, you want to unsubscribe from all of them, and you feel comfortable using some basic Unix commands on your Pantheon account.

First, quit from Pine. At the Pantheon (mars, mercury, morpheus, or minerva) prompt, type ls -a. This will list your files.

You should see a file with the name .newsrc . Save this file by typing mv .newsrc newsrc-old .

Now open Pine again. You will find that there are no newsgroups in the News-collection section of the folder list. When you subscribe to newsgroups again, a new .newsrc file will be generated.
