Well, maybe I got the question wrong, or everyone else did...

But I guess that the files should be removed from the repository using "cvs
rm....".  The first thing I suggest is the emacs-mode PCL-CVS, make a
cvs-status, press "M", "r" and "c", write a comment and press "C-c C-c" and
you're done :)

If you don't use emacs, you can allwas se the find-version and have it do
both file deletion and cvs-removal:

find . -type f -print | grep -v CVS | xargs rm && xargs "cvs rm"

..I'm not totally sure how to execute two commands on the stdin-files, but
something like that should do.
