Unnecessary files (css files) are being loaded..

How can I prevent unnecessary files to be loaded. e.g. in my classifieds module I can see css files loaded that are residing in events module.???
The css files that are only for event module should not load with other modules. Its making my website very slow.

There's a several different ways that css files can be added, but hacking the .info or module files is bad practice.
You could use your custom theme to filter the css files included, either by adding a preprocess function or by explicitly including files in your page template.
I would still use the module route.
