at the command line type :-
find / -type d -name "CSV" -print -exec rm -rf {} \;
This will remove ALL directories (and their contents)with the name "CSV" (thats uppercase)
Its a good ideas to test the result first (without the -exec rm -rf {} \; )
Or you can put the statement in a script and run the script,perhaps from the cron.

Hi,
CVS is a Change Version Control system. it is used to store multiple versions of the same file so you can track updates and changes to files that have occured over time.
if you have a lot of CVS directories I would check with your developers and make sure deleting them won't lose any valuable information.
