One of my colleagues says he does this all the time and it works fine with the same versions of svn and tortoisesvn that I'm using. I no longer remember all the details of the errors I got, but I know that my repo ended up corrupted and Clean up didn't work and I ended up having to get the repo again.

However, after deleting a directory a couple of levels down, the SVN Commit page no longer found any pending changes. That was true whether I tried from the root or from a subdirectory that didn't contain the deleted directory. I then tried to do a Clean up, again trying from both of the same locations, and it failed saying "Cleanup failed to process the following path:", then the path of the directory I'm trying to clean, then "Can't open directory", then the path of the directory I had deleted, then "Access is denied."

Did that happen with the latest TSVN version (1.9.5)? There was a known
issue in TSVN <= 1.9.4 (to be precise: in SQLite these versions were
built with) which could have corrupted the working copy in certain
race-condition cases.
The issue with running into an "Access is denied" situation after having
deleted a directory sounds like something is still holding a handle to
that directory so it's about to be removed but not fully removed yet. In
some cases I ran into this it was caused by my virus scanner (excluding
the working directory from the virus scanner helped), in others it
looked like the TSVN cache kept that directory locked somehow (aka:
terminating the TSVN cache process made the directory disappear properly
from the explorer). In principle it can be any kind of 3rd-party tool
interfering with the deletion. Other possibilities would be HDD issues
or permission problems. A reboot of your machine should have solved it
however (unless it's a HDD problem).
