I have created a Tortoise SVN repo in my C:\Users\***\svn_repo dir and would like to delete it. Is it safe to just delete the directory itself because the TortoiseSVN Explorer utilities don't show me how and neither does the documentation

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.
If you want to 'unversion' something but don't want a copy – simply do an “export” and when Tortoise asks for the “folder to export to” simply select the same folder your working copy is in! Tortoise will proceed to remove all the . svn folders.
Use Project|Set Up Local Repository to set up a new local SVN repository and optionally svnserve to access this repository. To use this command you need to have a local installation of the Subversion command line binaries. You can download them from http://subversion.tigris.org.
If you are running Windows then you can do a search on that folder for . svn and that will list them all. Pressing Ctrl + A will select all of them and pressing delete will remove all the 'pesky' Subversion stuff.
Just delete the repo. And go to Settings -> Saved Data -> URL history -> Clear.
You'll be fine. I promise

Yes, it's safe. A Subversion repository is nothing else than a directory with a bunch of files.
