Looking at the code for modules/News.php for version 0.2 I see that there is no way to remove news short of manually removing them from the database yourself.

However the version of modules/News.php in the trunk has got support for !news rem <id>. Also it makes a [delete] button accessible for the poster and any admins.

Note that the version of modules/News.php in the trunk uses the new security module so if you haven't got that working the module in the trunk isn't a drop-in replacement.

You can also look for the NewNews.php module. Works quite well with the 2.11 bot. Use search.

NewNews is able to import your current news items as well, so you shouldn't loose data. See NewNews Post for info.
