Did you ever check in the files? I assume you did because tortoise does
not give an option to 'delete' a directory unless you added it. You can
still recover them by reverting or updating to a previous revision if
they're in subversion. I would hope you made a commit within the past 10
days...
For the future:
If they were previously checked in and you wanted to remove them from
svn, you should have selected "Unversion and add to ignore list.." This
removes it from subversion without deleting a local copy.
If it was never checked in, you should have selected "Undo Add" rather
than "Delete".
I agree, though, a prompt to confirm deletion and moving it to the recycle
bin rather than completely wiping it out would be ideal. Though it
probably does not work this way because of the assumption that the files
you are deleting have already been committed and can be recovered via SVN.
