I am using TortoiseSVN
I imported some file to the server. Then I deleted all imported files from server. But my folder in windows explorer is diplayed with SVN icon. How can I removed it?

The answer is surprisingly simple - export the folder to itself! TortoiseSVN detects this special case and asks if you want to make the working copy unversioned. If you answer yes the control directories will be removed and you will have a plain, unversioned directory tree.
Moving files and folders select the files or directories you want to move. right drag them to the new location inside the working copy. release the right mouse button. in the popup menu select Context Menu → SVN Move versioned files here.
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 have a working copy which you no longer need, how do you get rid of it cleanly? Easy - just delete it in Windows Explorer! Working copies are private local entities, and they are self-contained. Deleting a working copy in Windows Explorer does not affect the data in the repository at all.
You can right click the folder -> choose TortoiseSVN -> Export and choose the same location as the folder currently is in (i.e. export the folder to itself)
This will 'un-version' the whole folder.
