This does not seem to work for me on Windows 7 machine. Has anyone tried this on Windows 7.

It’s easier and more intuitive to so do a windows search for “.svn” and delete the result. Just make sure to go into “More Advanced Options” to include hidden files/folders in the result.

sorry guys… i have to repost my comment bcz of the stupid formatting

for those who want to run it from Command line directly… use

FOR /F “tokens=*” %G IN (’DIR /B /AD /S [YOURWOKRINGDIR]*.svn*’) DO RMDIR /S /Q “%G”

replace [YOURWOKRINGDIR] with your SVN working dir

like mine…

FOR /F “tokens=*” %G IN (’DIR /B /AD /S c:\svn_repository\*.svn*’) DO RMDIR /S /Q “%G”
