Remove external dependency from svn repo

Question

I was creating external dependencies in one of my repos. I made a mistake and I want to delete one of these dependencies.

I can't delete the folder because that deletes the folder from the parent project. I'm using tortoisesvn-client and I can't find a command to achieve this, I removed the external property from the properties list but it didn't seem to work.

Answer 1

These are the conclusions:

• Delete the external property.
• Change the name of the folder that is causing problems.
• Update the repo, the folder will be added again empty.
• Now, delete the renamed folder.
