Bad CVS import!

So I accidentally imported the wrong directory into my CVS. Say my cvs root is /foo/cvsroot, and I imported the package BAR. I want to totally wipe the package BAR from the CVS (ie, the directory /foo/cvsroot/BAR.) Can I just delete BAR using the command
rm -rf /foo/cvsroot/BAR
?

(I realize this might be a really bad idea - I'm throwing this solution out there as a straw man...)
