Windows Explorer icons in TortoiseSVN take a long time to refresh to correct state

After I commit files, the icons stay on either modified or waiting for commit for a long time. Is there any way to force a refresh to ensure that the icon that I am seeing is the correct state of the file?

How do I get rid of TortoiseSVN?

How do I uninstall TortoiseSVN? Simply uninstall from Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel. This does not affect your repositories or working copies at all.

Why is SVN not showing green check?

Right click on a folder -> TortoiseSVN -> Settings -> Icon overlays -> Exclude paths: If there are green markers in the checked out subfolders you might have checked out into a subfolder of the folder you are looking at. There is also some caching issues with TortoiseSVN. TortoiseSVN -> Cleanup usually fixes those.

You can try this:

TortoiseSVN -> Settings -> Icon Overlay, set Status Cache to 'Shell' instead of 'Default'

Ref. to the Help.

Shell Caching is done directly inside the shell extension DLL file, but only for the currently visible folder. Each time you navigate to another folder, the status information is fetched again.

Advantage: needs only very little memory (around 1 MB of RAM) and can show the status in real time.

Disadvantage: Since only one folder is cached, the overlays don't show the status recursively. For big working copies, it can take more time to show a folder in explorer than with the default cache. Also the mime-type column is not available.
