My experiences, based on a similar if not exactly the same desire, on wanting to tidy up my working copy by deleting unwanted files and folders *from the Working Copy* is that you can't directly do that.

TSVN has a Delete command that its intention is that you want the file or folder deleted from the project - that is, deleted from the repository as well as your working copy. (I don't know if the folder will be deleted on any other working copy based off that respository on the next update.)

The help file suggests that you can remove a folder in working copy from version control by exporting the folder to itself (TSVN Help Ch.4.26.1). The .svn folders will be removed and you can delete locally. Will the parent folders of the newly unversioned folder know about the unversioning? Don't know. Certainly the working copy will see the now un-ignored, unversioned folders/files and will put a black circle with a white question mark on the folder icon.

Locally deleting a folder/file under version control results in, at best, a missing folder/file to be replaced on the next update, or at worst, a corrupted working copy that must be locally blown away in its entirety and a new working copy checked out.

My experiences.
