That depends on your definition of "work".  :-)

CVS only manages files, not directories, so you *can't* remove a
directory in CVS.  What the above command will do is try to remove all
the files in that directory, which will fail if there are any that still
exist in your working directory (unless you use the "-f" flag to delete
the working file as well).
