Removing tags from working copy without subversion complaining?

Part of my habits for making sure I don't break anything on my own code is
to keep lots of tags of my entire working copy around as fallback positions.
I now have several hundred, which isn't a problem as the repository makes
cheap copies (yay subversion!). The only problem occurs in the case of
extreme user stupidity, like what I did yesterday... when I accidentally
started a checkout of the entire tags directory (which, if I hadn't killed
it, would have required several terabytes of space). My problem now is that
if I use svn rm to get rid of the checked out files, they will be deleted
from the repository, but at the same time, if I delete them using the file
system, then subversion will complain that the files are missing. How do I
clean the files out without subversion complaining to me?

Thanks,
Cem Karan
