How best to delete a quantity of unwanted content from a directory that has been built automatically?

Hi

Say I have a directory under version control but the content of that
directory is generated from a script. Some files may be the same from one
version to the next, some may disappear and new ones will be included.

The thing I am not sure about is - if I simply delete the files, generate
the new content then commit then it will not delete those files that are not
required in the new revision from the repository so when I do an update they
will reappear (I'm not talking about obliterating them here - I still want
to get them back if I return to a previous revision). If I have to actually
remove them from the repository then to do them one by one is a hassle, but
if I delete everything or infact the whole folder then add the new one I
worry that I will be creating unnecessary data as subversion won't know
which files it can do deltas on.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Mark
