There's always rm -rf :-)

You can edit the repository directly and remove modules. Just log on
to the box (using some ssh client), change to the cvsroot directory

cd /project/cells/cvsroot

, type

ls

, and you will see the list of modules. To remove module foo, just do

rm -rf foo

and that's about it. Cue in rant about user interfaces.

Note, however, that the module will be gone for real :-)
