I would like to completely remove Google Reader, do not like
the format, it has screwed screen coverage of other things, some so small, they are unreadable, nothing seems to correct
yhis. There must be a way to remove Google Reader.

I am in no way a techie…and I thought it might be nice to have enviro “feeds” and so I punched that in to discover…good heavens, one fourth of my screen is a big blank…and I have to move the whole screen even to enjoy yahoo. This is going to RUIN my computer enjoyment. I want to get my space back….right now. It is possible to say No Feed now. I certainly hope so…..

[...] I have had issues with Google Reader (Google’s online RSS/feed reader) in the past but in the latest update to Google Reader, released today most of those issues have been addressed. [...]

I switched to Bloglines. Came back to Google Reader for the embedding into personalized Google page. But still can’t delete old unread articles easily. So, I’ll be sticking with Bloglines which works well.

That’s awesome Chris.

Even when you delete a subscription by hand, you still have entries for the feed in the reading list, so I’m not sure how to get rid of those.

There isn’t yet a way to do that easily and, yep, that’s not as nice a workflow as it could be. Sorry about that, we’re definitely working on it (this weekend, in fact) and we’ll ship an improvement of feed and label management as soon as as we can. (I’m in a similar boat - I fluctuate between 290-330 subscriptions and I purge them every once in a while. Bulk mgmt in Reader can get taxing, currently.) - chris w., google reader engineer

no i don’t think there is… it took me an eternity to do it about a month ago when I swapped to google reader. It’s got way better recently supporting flickr subscriptions and podcasts embedded. I also like the G L shortcut keys.

Here’s an idea though, you can export to opml. edit in notepad (delete the lines you don’t want) then import again. But how do you clear you account in one go before you do that, I don’t know! sorry.
