Create a rule to delete messages older than number of days (I use 7). Then
click "apply now" and use the browse button to select the newsgroup server
or the target group. Run it to remove old messages.
When done, close up the message rules, click file/work offline, then click
file/folder/compact all folders. Go back online when done. Not going offline
first can cause the corruption of your mail/news store if OE attempts to
download mail while the mail store is being compacted.

If you mean newsgroup messages or headers, do the following. Select
(Highlight) a newsgroup, right click, select properties, go to local file
and click reset. This will remove all headers and message bodies. Then go
to Tools and select "Get next headers" and the current headers will be
downloaded.
If you have SP1 installed, there is a new Delete function in Outlook
Express that applies to news messages. Select the messages that you no
longer want in your message store. Then use Edit> Delete or press Ctrl+D on
the keyboard.
