If you are really desperate to remove info on your pc then just format your hard drive!
you could try using System Mechanic (iolo.com), it seems to do a good job of removing these files (not as good a job as formatting, as adamjones81 suggested.

BTW, none of the software that I've examined or tested eliminate the resulting dbx file trackings of using Outlook Express for (alt) newsgroups to view pictures. Do a Find on dbx and you will see (unwanted) items. Right-click and Delete any or all since these do not effect your system.
These dbx files result for each newsgroup visited; not only those subscribed.
