If they're in the repository, there's no reason not to delete them -- you
can always get them back. You could even give them a symbolic tag to make
retrieving them even easier:
cvs tag Deprecated_01_20_07 my/src/files/*
then
cvs -f rm my/src/files/*
If you ever need to get them back, you can do an update using the tag:
cvs up -rDeprecated_01_20_07 my/src/files
The above is untested, so you should decide if it sounds like what you want
and then check the syntax before doing it.
