I download just headers and if I don't download a message it's hidden and
once I leave that newsgroup outlook catchs up with the numbers and then I
only see 500 headers I DL each time.

Sounds like you don't understand the UseNet newsgroups.
There is no central location where these messages are kept so you have
no
single point that you can "repair" the newsgroup. In addition, this
is
a
nonmoderated group so there is not anybody that can delete improper
posts.
As to the 48K posts, that is all that your newsgroup server has at the
moment for the last x number of days in it's memory. There are a lot
more
than that that have been posted to the group over the many years that
it
has been around.
Sounds like my ISP should do the housecleaning.
Not necessary. Are you sure you are not talking about the messages
cached by your newsreader? For example, when on my newsreader the
cache gets to about 20'000 messages I remove the expired messages and
this leaves only around 10'000.
No, I use message rules with outlook. It always says 48000 not dowloaded
so it is my ISP server.
