I would guess ~/.newsrc.eld - which can be quite fiddly to edit, remember to stop Gnus and take a backup copy before changing anything! Best regards, Adam -- "Jeg har læst alt hvad google kan finde."

It can be auto-added or cached somewhere else. (Unintended pun: 'cache' is from the French word not to store but to HIDE something.) Well, that whole situation of adding/removing servers several ways, and how the methods don't auto-sync, that was discussed a while back. Get around the situation by not adding them interactively, always use .gnus, which is better anyway so no harm to it. But to try to help you, what I'd do is delete everything everyway you can and everywhere; kill Emacs; re-bytecompile everything; start Emacs and see if anything is left; if not, add it again, but only the stuff you want, and only one time, in .gnus. [Side note: Gnus, and Emacs in general, don't care where you put configuration/extension as long as you tell Emacs where it is and that it should be evaluated. Because: .gnus is, as everything else, just a file with data. I, for one, don't even have a .gnus, instead, I have all Gnus here: https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/gnus/ and I load every file there explicitely from .emacs] -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal

Server listed twice in gnus-group-enter-server-mode
I have ended up with the same server listed twice in (gnus-group-enter-server-mode). I think this may be because I originally added the server using (gnus-group-browse-foreign-server METHOD), and then added it to .gnus as a (gnus-secondary-select-methods) and then later or maybe at the same time added tls with port 563. So now I am not sure how to delete one, preferably the one using 119 if indeed there are two occurences. When I use the letter k to delete the server it tells me I must delete it from the configuration file, but there is only one in .gnus, where is the other?
