`B DEL'
Delete the mail article. This is "delete" as in "delete it from
your disk forever and ever, never to return again." Use with
caution. (`gnus-summary-delete-article').
You may want some form of expiry, which is how Gnus normally gets rid
of old messages, archiving them elsewhere, instead of deletion. See
info://Gnus/Expiring+Mail
(`B <backspace>' is equivalent to `B DEL' here.)

`g'
Check the server(s) for new articles. If the numerical prefix is
used, this command will check only groups of level ARG and lower
(`gnus-group-get-new-news'). If given a non-numerical prefix, this
command will force a total re-reading of the active file(s) from
the back end(s).
There are timer-based ways of inducing Gnus to look for new messages,
too, including conditionals on whether you've been busy lately and
whatnot. See info://Gnus/Daemons
