I have successfully emptied the files from these directories, except the CVS directories. Then I did: cvs -P update and cvs commit I then deleted the local copy of project directory and did: cvs checkout CRELibrary and I got the project folder back complete with the empty directories I wanted to delete. :-( What am I doing wrong?
