Tortoise SVN deleted folders keep coming back

I have a number of projects in my repository that are no longer needed.

I removed them from the repository - this seemed to remove them from SVN control as the relevant icons in Windows Explorer went away and the folders now show as standard Windows folders.

I then deleted the items from the hard disk.

Imagine my suprise to find when I went into the folder the next day, all of the deleted folders back. So I deleted them again - and they came back again.

None of them are showing as under source control.

What am I doing wrong??

I had the same problem. Delete the files from the repo using TortoiseSVN. Checked again and again, the files were deleted. I even tested from another computer. Every time I updated the files came back.

The solution for me was to restart the SVN server and the problem went away and so did the files.

Use the repository browser to check whether those folders really are deleted in the repository.

But I assume they are not. Most likely you just deleted the folders in your explorer. You must use the "Delete" command from the TSVN menu to remove folders from version control and then commit that deletion.

You are probably referencing a previous revision number where those folders still existed.
