When I did a search, it should me some CVS directories of some of the source-packages I had downloaded.
It also shows somw files from under iTunes folder (created by gtkpod when sycing). How do I know whether it is safe to delete these files without affecting the working of these packages in the future.

If you are done compiling and installing the source code from CVS, that all of them would be safe to delete.
Until you get comfortable, you may want to have a backup.

I would not delete repository metadata files like
those in the CVS directories for example.
The latest version already ignores these files automatically, but the older version in ubuntu does not. I would suggest installing the lastest version rather than the older official ubuntu version as detailed on the FSlint homepage:
