Do be certain you want to remove all the items mentioned.  Then run these 
two commands to remove each.  Those are not single-quote marks, they are 
backtics.
/bin/rm -rf `find /path/to/the/head/of/your/problem/directory -name #cvs.lock`
/bin/rm -rf `find /path/to/the/head/of/your/problem/directory -name 
#cvs..wfl.pilot.25274`

For instance if I wanted to delete all files (and directories) named 
yousuck.txt from anywhere under my public_html directory, I would do
/bin/rm -rf `find /home/tomki/public_html -name yousuck.txt`

Caution is advised.
