How do I remove a folder from being source controlled with TortoiseSVN?
582
Right click the any folder and choose TortoiseSVN -> Repo Browser. Then point to your local repository in the URL field. Once open you could be able to browse the repo, and with a right click, delete the folder.
To remove a file from a Subversion repository, change to the directory with its working copy and run the following command: svn delete file… Similarly, to remove a directory and all files that are in it, type: svn delete directory…
Just delete your complete local checked-out working copy (including all . svn directories). This will not modify your repository as you are not committing your deletion.
The easiest way is described here: http://tortoisesvn.net/unversion.html
That article is a bit wordy and some of the methods didn't work for me (like dragging the folder onto itself - Windows 7 wouldn't allow it)).
Here's what, in the article worked for me:
Simple: when you right-click on a working copy and choose "Export..." from the context menu, a folder browse dialog is shown where you can choose the folder where you want the working copy exported to. If you now select the very same path that your working copy is on as the target (i.e., you're exporting the working copy onto itself), TortoiseSVN will remove all .svn folders of that working copy.
