Tortoise SVN Commit to a new repository

Background:

I commit a subversion project to assembla with this folder structure.

folder1
folder2

But I made a mistake, folder1 should be in folder2. So I did that in my local copy and did a SVN commit. So, now I have folder1 is both the 'base folder' and inside folder2.

folder1
folder2
  folder1

So, I started reading on how to remove files/folders in SVN and it seems complicated or just scary (what if something goes wrong). I figured I can use a new repo. I can delete the old one since the latest copy, the one I want, is on my local machine. However, here is the issue, when I right-click on the folder, SVN commit automatically points to the existing repo.

How do I change it to point to a new repo. I'm afraid that if I delete the server repo and use the same name, it will complain about mismatch revision/HEAD or something.

Thanks!

Well, really it's easy - remove in Working Copy and commit or svm rm URL/TO/FIOLDER/ in order to delete directly in repository

If what you want to do is use a new repository, and if you have created that new repo, then you can use the Relocate option of TortoiseSVN.

Just delete the folder and commit the deletions via TortoiseSVN. That's what i'm doing.
