Ran out of space, can't svn cleanup because offending files were deleted

I'm sorry I don't have a lot of background in what version I am using or
anything like that... if that information needs to be provided, please
inform me *how to find it*, thank you.

I attempted to update my copy of our svn to revision 445, which contained a
lot of new, very large files. The update was interrupted because the disk
ran out of space. I informed my colleague that these files were huge and
asked if they could be kept somewhere other than the svn. They removed the
large files, and committed their copy, making it revision 446.

I tried to update to this new revision, but received the message:

svn: Working copy '.' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)

Okay, I understand that it was locked because the previous update was
interrupted and there is a log file telling it to try to finish the process
it started. Unfortunately, because I was completely out of disk space, I
removed some of the files that were added. So now when I try to cleanup, it
couldn't find the files and would not continue. I deleted the entire new
directory (with the big files), and so now i get;

svn: 'foo' is not a working copy directory

I can't add the directory back again because my working copy is locked.

What I need to somehow do is get to revision 446 even though I was
interrupted in updating to r 445 and cannot complete the r 445 update (even
if I wouldn't have deleted the new directory, there wouldn't have been room
to complete the update). How can I do this?

Thank you, again I would be happy to provide any other information if you
can tell me how to find it.
