As soon as BOINC detects that some files are missing it just 
re-downloads them, usually at client start-up. There is no check if the 
files are needed at all and that means you don't have much chances to 
get rid of files that are not required any more. You either have to wait 
for the project to send a delete-request which may not happen at all. Or 
you completly detach from the project or you shut down the client, 
remove the files and remove all references to these files in 
client_state.xml *by hand*. None of these ways seems to be sufficient to me.

By the way, this design flaw is fixed in synecdoche ;)
