If the file is tagged, that means that it has a sticky tag, which in turn
means that you are not working on the tip of the branch. `cvs rm` will only remove
files at the tip of the branch. This is correct behavior, since removing old
revisions would break all builds of the tree starting at the revision removed.
What you should do is to select the file and hit the green arrow button to
update it. If necessary, hold the shift key down while clicking the green arrow to
get the update dialog box. Click the "get the clean copy" box, then proceed. You
will now have the current version of the file, which you can remove and commit.
It would probably be a good idea to get clean copies of the entire tree while
you're at it. It is bad to have sticky tags and not know why. Communing with the
documentation is essential here.
