How to get rid of files neither in version control or on disk from list in "SVN Commit"

When I use the menu SVN Commit, it seems like tortoise remembers file it has seen before (being existant when using that dialog before, even if unversioned).

They are either reported as having a status of deleted (+) or missing.

The files in question are meaningless to both Tortoise SVN and me.

svn.exe status does not list the files, only files relevant to version control.

How do I disable the caching of filenames/directory names in tortoise svn that is not either under version control or on disk?

If a file has a status of deleted, that means it was once in your working copy (and under version control) and then you invoked svn delete on it but have not committed the change. Once you commit that, it will be removed from your repository.

If a file has a status of missing, that means it was once in your working copy (and under version control) and then you deleted it via Windows Explorer (i.e. you did not invoke svn delete on it) but have not committed the change.

In both cases, if you really don't want that file to be in your repository, commit the change and it will be removed. All statuses are described here, and correspond closely to statuses shown in TortoiseSVN.
