EOF while looking for end of string in RCS file : How to delete problem

I imported some MP3s into CVS by mistake (yes I do own the
copywrite!).

With my limited knowlege I only know how to delete them by checking
the project out and using "cvs delete" to remove the MP3s one by one.

However, there is one that produces the following error message...
"EOF while looking for end of string in RCS file
/var/cvsroot/intranet/audio/Mon27Oct03e0723.mp3,v"

This sort of thing is not unexpected because I told CVS all about
jpgs, gifs & pngs being binary but not MP3!

If I can't check it out then how do I delete the thing? I heard that
doing stuff directly in the CVSROOT directory is most inadvisable and
could break stuff if I am no careful.

Anyone know how I can get out of this pickle?
