when i do an update, occasionally i get a file is no longer pertinent. provided it's not a file i have done anything with, i assume it is safe enough to manually delete it.
is there a way to have the CVS system do that for me? yes, i understand that used without caution this could be a disaster, but i do not make changes myself to the compiler. figured that would be a safe bet for auto deletion.

or is there a way to capture the output list of files that are no longer pertinent for later manual deletion?

cvs update -Pd
does the trick: -P forces to fetch newly created directories; -d the cvs deletes the removed files
