Excellent. Thanks for the clarification :-).
Addendum: a 'svn update' will also bring the WC back in a working state.

I think I was confusing subfolders with files.
(You can remove a file in the WC without going through SVN/TSVN, and
if you choose to do a commit, the file will be considered removed and
will thus be "deleted" in the repository. However, if you do a 'svn
update', the file will be considered missing and will be reinstated.
So you can remove *files* in a working copy by just removing them in
the filesystem, but to avoid surprises during update you really should
use 'svn delete'.)
