I don't know if this is considered a good practice or not, but in 
such cases, I go into the CVS folder (it's a hidden folder, but I 
always set up Windows to show hidden files & folders) that exists in 
the folder that contains your broken folders, open the Entries file 
therein, and delete the lines:

D/<broken folder name> ...

There should be 4 of these lines, one for each broken folder that 
shows up in your repository
