Re: [TSVN] Newbie Q: How to Delete a Repository

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

I'm using Tortoise as a single user on a single PC--no networks are
involved.

I've deleted the test repository that I created on the desktop. However,
if I right-click on the desktop, SVN Checkout still lists the repository
as being available (even though if I try to check anything out from it I
get an error as I expect). Can I update the list that appears in the SVN
Checkout menu so that it shows only the available repositories?

Cheers,

Chris
