The attic files stay forever in the repository; they won't show up in your 
working copy, though.  This is just how CVS handles deleted files.

Mozdev does offer Mercurial now if you're interested in that; it has much 
better support for deleting directories and files as well as moving files 
around and renaming.

If you would like some surgery to be done to your CVS tree or are interested 
in Mercurial feel free to file a bug from the feedback page [1].
