svn: E155037: Previous operation has not finished; run 'cleanup' if it was interrupted

I recently did a checkout and the operation stalled so I did a control-c to cancel. After removing the files from the directory (including the .svn directory), I attempted to do another checkout and received the following error:

svn: E155037: Previous operation has not finished; run 'cleanup' if it was interrupted

Looking at other posts, the most likely solution is to do an SVN cleanup in the current working copy, however, the directory I am trying to checkout into isn't even a working copy. In fact, if I create a new folder and try to do a checkout from there I get the same message. If I do an svn cleanup from this directory, I get the expected error message: 

svn: E155007: 'C:\Users\workspace\project1' is not a working copy directory.

Is there a global database that SVN uses I need to flush? I am using Windows 7 and I have Tortoise SVN installed but I am using the CollabNet Subversion Command-Line Client v1.8.9 (for Windows) for all my operations. I did however clear all log files associated with Tortoise SVN.

Actually just found the answer to my question by looking here.

It seems that svn was stuck in the old operation. All of these operations are stored in the database wc.db in the .svn folder.

By downloading SQLite to my checkout directory and running from cmd:

sqlite3.exe .svn/wc.db "select * from work_queue"

I got a list of all pending operations. These operations are the ones "not finished". Then by running:

sqlite3.exe .svn/wc.db "delete from work_queue"

all of these pending operations got deleted and I could commit again. No need for a re-checkout or anything.

Run Clean Up

For me in versions (my SVN) in Top Nav << Action/Clean Up Working Cop Locks.

Okay, so when I cancelled the checkout operation after it stalled, for some reason, an .svn directory was placed in my C:\ directory. Removing the .svn directory from C:\ resolved my issue.
