You could use

   svn status --no-ignore | grep -e '^[I\?]' | cut -c 8-

to get a list of those files and directories that SVN doesn't know or is
ignoring.

Then you could further pipe that into

   xargs rm -r

But you'd need to think a bit about esacping whitespace if the
file-names contain such. especially newlines would give you a hard time :)
