Delete and add to ignore list is exactly what you want. You want the
file to be removed from the subversion repository, kept locally and
added to the ignore list (you can only ignore items that are not
versioned. If you want the item not to be versioned then it has to be
deleted from the repository).

The fact that it has an X on means it is scheduled for deletion from
the repository. The fact that you can see it at all means that it has
not been deleted locally.
