However, they won't be empty unless you *never* committed any files to those directories. When you do a 'cvs delete' it just marks the file as dead on whatever branch you're working on... all the old revisions of the file still exist in the repository. If you really don't care about those old revisions, or you've copied them into your new structure, then by all means just rm the old directories. Personally, I just run with -P in my .cvsrc so this kind of thing is never a problem.
