You can configure what parts are shown in the main context menu and the
Tortoise submenu to some extent. However, this is not enough to make it
impossible for users to delete anything because there are a bunch of other
places where you can delete things. Renaming something will btw also schedule
a copy and a delete.

If you want to, configure permissions on the server side. Please refer to the
SVN documentation and the SVN mailinglist for that, TSVN is just a client.

Also, it's kind of silly to allow users to delete the content of a file but
not the file itself. In any case, SVN itself doesn't allow any mere client to
delete data, so you can always "restore" the data from previous revisions. If
you are not familiar with that, you should read the introduction to SVN use
from the online book.
