You can't delete a module from the repository with CVS.  You can cvs rm 
all the files within it, then use cvs up -P to prune empty directories, 
but there is no way to get CVS to destroy your revision history like that.

If you really, truly, absolutely do not want an entire module in your 
repository and can safely go without any history on it (did you get the 
point?), then you can delete the module directly out of the repository.
