toroiseSVN switch command deleted an entire directory in my repository

I created a new branch (using Tortiose Help 5.16) called
https://svn.karta.com/svn/tracker/FleetRADAR/fleetradarV1.0 with the response:
Completed At revision 1024
Notice your working copy remains on the previous path. I f you want your
next changes to be in the just created copy, then you need to switch over to
that copy path. Use the Switch command to do that.

Then I created a second new branch called called
https://svn.karta.com/svn/tracker/FleetRADAR/fleetradarV2.0 with the response:
Completed At revision 1025
Notice your working copy remains on the previous path. If you want your
next changes to be in the just created copy, then you need to switch over to
that copy path. Use the Switch command to do that.

Then using switch (TortoiseSVN Help 5.16.2) I get the response:
Restored C:\subversion\baseline-May-8-2006\Reports\bases.jsp
Deleted C:\subersion\fleetradarV0.1
Deleted C:\subversion\0000.0000fleetradarV0.0.tar
Error Won't delete locally modified directory 'C:\subversion'
Error File 'C:\subversion\May-8-2006-Baseline\java\...' has local modifica
TortoiseSVN switch Finished!

--------------------------------------------
------------- Question 1: ------------------
--------------------------------------------
THE SWITCH COMMAND SOULD NOT DELETE SUBVERSION DIRECTORIES, RIGHT? I had
commited all my changes to this directory, and wanted to use this as the
starting point for further development.

--------------------------------------------
------------- Question 2: ------------------
--------------------------------------------
Why doesn't fleetradarV2.0 show up in my windows explorer now? Did the error
during the deletion of the directory make this command fail so that the svn
repository is totaly broken? I.E. I cannot access my latest code anymore? How
do I recover fleetradarV2.0 to make further changes.
