Remove Subversion sourcecontrol from a project (Visual Studio/TortoiseSVN) [duplicate]

Possible Duplicate:
How do you remove Subversion control for a folder?

I am implementing the use of Subversion as a source control tool for my projects, but I made some mistakes when determining what structure to use. So I added version control to some folders (projects), that I would like to undo.

How do I do that? Do I have to copy the folder, delete the original and add source control to the new one?

I use TortoiseSVN and Visual Studio 2008.

Right click on the project, go to Team->disconnect. It will open a popup where you select the first option: 'Also delete the SVN meta-information from file system.

Just remove the .svn folders in the folder and all its subfolders.

An easier way to do this would be to Export the folder using TortoiseSVN.

In addition to the previous comments:

There is a really neat way to export using TortoiseSVN. If you right click and drag/drop your SVN folder, when you release the mouse button you will be prompted by a menu including these entries

SVN Export to here
SVN Export all to here

The latter also copies files not placed under SVN control.

This right click trick can also be used for dragging files and folders around within a repository (simultaneously with editing the working copy), to achieve moves and copies that are otherwise tricky.
