There is, of course, the table of contents, which I've always found to
be very useful. Open the table of contents
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/index.html) and search for
"delete"; the first result is "Resurrecting Deleted Items", which might
be useful, but the second result is "svn delete", under the path "9.
Subversion Complete Reference":"The Subversion Command Line Client:
svn":"svn Subcommands". This second result gives you exactly what
you're looking for.
Was that *really* that difficult to find?

Well, again, from the table of contents, search for "undo", and you'll
find a nice sub-heading titled (*gasp!*) "Undoing Changes", which tells
you another way to do what you want--and, in fact, is a more
general-purpose solution.
Unless, of course, you want to remove all traces of the invalid project
from the repository entirely, which is a much more complex issue (since
Subversion is designed expressly to never lose information). Of course,
the best resource to find information for this is the FAQ
(http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html), where, if you do a search for
"remove", you'll find the question, "How do I completely remove a file
from the repository's history?"
Amazing what you can find, even without an index, isn't it?
