Title: Deleting files and folders permanently form Subversion repositories
Post by: hasan on July 18, 2009, 12:24:46 PM

Hello All,
                These days I am facing a very weird issue related to the subversion repositories of the people in my company. There are people here who have imported very big files in their repositories which are not meant to be in version control.
Though they have deleted them from their present version but it lies there on the server occupying huge space.

Now can any one tell me how to remove them.

Regards
Hasan

They will never be deleted from your server as they are part of the version number they were checked in. You will have to do some administration to remove them, but that is highly specific to subversion. See the subversion cookbook for subversion administration: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ , more specific: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.reposadmin

Yep that is the method I was referring to with the links to the manual.
