I assume there's a "not" missing.

Others already commented on how to technically solve this but I personally
wonder why. The point is that Subversion can recover deleted files, in fact
that's one of the things it was designed to do. So if you want to allow
people to create folders and files, why not the opposite? This would make it
impossible for them to undo an accidentally committed file, undo changes
(i.e. reverse merging) or possibly even just rename files.
If you had restricted them from the beginning so that they would only be
allowed to edit existing files, that would have been reasonable for people
that you don't want to change the overall design of things. However, even
that would be a severe restriction useful only to help people not to shoot
themselves in the feet but without training them on the use of Subversion.
