How to Remove a Feed from your NewsGator Subscriptions

By , About.com Guide

If you're anything like me, you subscribe to any RSS feed that remotely looks a bit like it could be interesting some day. With the same certainty and periodicity that NewsGator shows when it updates the feeds automatically, I am then faced with hundreds of subscriptions and thousands of unread news items.

I browse through the list, and most of it is interesting in a certain way, but I still resolve to get rid of the majority of the not so essential feeds. And thanks to NewsGator's ease of use I can start immediately.

Remove a Feed from your NewsGator Subscriptions

To remove a feed from your NewsGator subscriptions:

  • Select NewsGator | Subscriptions... from the NewsGator toolbar.
  • Highlight the feed or feeds you want to get rid of.
    • To highlight multiple feeds, hold down Ctrl while you select them with the mouse.
  • Click Delete.
  • Now click Yes.
    • If you have used special folders for the feeds you deleted and there are no other feeds that deliver their news to these folders, NewsGator offers to delete them.
    • Click Yes.
  • Click Close.

If you have one or more feeds associated with a particular folder in Outlook and want to remove all these feeds, you can simply delete the folder:

  • Right-click on the Outlook folder you wan to delete.
  • Select Delete "<folder name>" from the menu.
  • Click Yes.
  • Now click Yes again to remove the associated NewsGator subscriptions.
