So you deleted the entire working copy folder, created a new empty
folder and did TSVN->Checkout into that empty folder?
When you checkout you should get a progress dialog listing all the
files being checked out into your local folder. Do you get that
dialog?

So what is in the context menu now?

That is expected if you had previously asked for your username and
password to be saved. That is stored along with your settings, not in
the working copy.
