It has nothing to do with whether your repository is hosted on the
local computer or on a remote server. It has to do with how you
perform the import: whether normally, using "svn import", or in place,
using "svn checkout", "svn add" and "svn commit".

Ok, you checked out file:///home/foot/svnrepo1 into a new local
directory xdatadir in the current directory (".").

So the current directory (".") is a working copy for some reason,
perhaps unintentionally.

"svn list" uses information about whatever repository the current
directory is attached to -- presumably the old repository you already
deleted.

You want to delete the ".svn" directory in the current directory. Then
"svn status" and "svn list" in this directory should properly report
that you are not in a working copy.
