Tortoise SVN undo checkout in repository

I am very new to Tortoise SVN so I hope I use the correct terminology...

I have a repository, say C:/RCode and I was checking it out into say C:/Working. I do not know what exactly went wrong, but I must have checked out something in my repository C:/RCode. As a result, this folder has now features of both a repository and a checked out folder - e.g. it now also has the green v icon overlay next to the icon overlay of a repository.

How can I tell Tortoise that this is should not be a checkout folder?

Solution

  • To make Tortoise SVN forget a folder is a checked out folder, it suffices to show hidden files and folders in the folder of interest and then delete the hidden folder .svn
