TortoiseSVN is showing the Question mark decorators

At the root of my d: drive, TortoiseSVN is showing the question mark decorators on all the folders. The d: drive is not a SVN working copy. How do I remove the decorators?

To remove the svn sync we have to 'un-version' the folder/drive, the proper way to do it is as follows

Click on the folder/drive --> selectTortoiseSVN --> Export --> choose the same location as the folder currently is in, export the folder to itself

The question mark decorators can be deactivated as shown here.

Go to Tortoise SVN >> Settings >> Icon Overlays

In the Drive Types section

Un-check

  • Fixed drivers

And check

  • Show excluded root folders as normal

There are two things you should check.

  1. Remove any .svn folders from the root level of your drive.

    The .svn folder is hidden so you will have to make sure Windows Explorer shows hidden files and folders.

  2. Open a command prompt and run the following command.

    tortoiseproc /command:rebuildiconcache

If this doesn't remove the icon overlays, you may need to reboot as well.

TSVNCache, which TortoiseSVN uses to keep those icons uptodate, doesn't always make the correct choices about which directories need decoration. You can limit which directories it will consider by:

  • In TortoiseSVN|Settings|Look and Feel|Icon Overlays

  • In the Drive Types section

    • Mark the drive types you want monitored.
    • Use Include paths for the directories you want monitored
    • Use exclude paths for directories to be excluded (strangely enough)

I have only Fixed Drives checked.

Exclude paths:

c:\*

Include paths:

c:\cygwin\home\me\workspaces\*
c:\dev\*
d:\development\*

If a restart doesn't solve it (i.e. it's not a TortoiseSVN bug), the root folder is probably a working copy created by mistake.
