What do you mean by 'delete'? I'm assuming you just delete the local
directory in Windows Explorer or similar, then SVN->Update. I suspect
that the directory is being re-populated from the local pristine copy
in the .svn folder, rather than being pulled down from the server.
It's not obvious what should happen here. Should the client delete its
local copy when the server marks it as inaccessible? If a temporary
glitch in the server config file marked your 10GB checkout as
inaccessible that could be quite annoying.
But however you look at it this is a subversion issue. TortoiseSVN is
only using the subversion library, so there's nothing that can be done
from this end. You would have to report this to the subversion users
list.
