Might be a good idea to read the excellent documentation, available with
a simple right click.
There you will find the following gem.

        Ignoring Versioned Items

Versioned files and folders can never be ignored - that's a feature of
Subversion. If you versioned a file by mistake, read Section B.8,
"Ignore files which are already versioned" <tsvn-howto-unversion.html>
for instructions on how to "unversion" it.
