When you removed "the files" you really only removed revisions. The files were still there. CVS is sort of like write-only memory. :-) Once a file goes into it, there's no getting rid of it except to actually remove it at the filesystem level from the repository.
And this is why people actually use CVS :)
Yeah, I know. :-( I'm spoiled...on the CVS system I use at work, I have root on the server, so when something like this happens, I can zap the directory in the repository and reimport. I'm able to make CVS do what I want most of the time, and I've bought the Karl Fogel book on the subject to learn more, but I'm unfortunately not yet an expert. It's embarrassing to make a mistake like this in such a public venue.
