Yes, just delete the files using rm.

The only remaining remnants will be:

  - The file names and meta data will still be included in the attrib
    file in each directory.  That means the file will be listed if
    you browse the directory.

  - The file name will appear in the XferLOG files.

But if you remove the files and cpool then the contents are gone
(unless someone runs a utility to recover files from the free
blocks on disk).
