Hi.

I have been using Subversion for a few days now and have a question...

I have a folder deep in my subversion trunk that I want to remove and replace with another folder.

I have read about this on here and tried:

  • Export:
    • I clicked on the folder I wanted to remove
    • I then created a new backup folder elsewhere when prompted
    • I then exported
  • Delete:
    • I next chose the delete option (in TortoiseSVN) on the folder I wanted to remove and clicked it.

The folder I want to remove now has an "X" over it as does all of the subfolders and files. But, when I go to the Subversion repository on the remote server, I still see the folder I want to remove and all of its files.

What do I have to do to get the clients to forget about this folder and the Subversion server to remove it permanently from its sub-folders?

Thanks in advance...
