Deleting your local working folders would never delete the files in svn server unless you do an svn commit to the server. So you can safely delete the working folders on your machine

You can delete the folders/files on your machine - as long as you don't tell SVN the server will never know. Which means - just don't Commit and you should be fine.

When i'm learning an new source control system, i usually will zip the local directory before i delete ... just incase i screw up. Then after i'm sure i didn't screw up I stop doing the zips.
