changing the structure of code in public repo

hi,
My former team member had put some code in a public repository
sometime back.Currently I am the sole team member now and need to
modify the code.
I am relatively new to subversion and version control systems in
general..

I can checkout the code using
svn checkout https://myproject.somepublicrepo.com/svn/trunk/

the source tree structure in repo is
svn/trunk/src/myproject/One.java
                                  /Two.java

I thought of changing the package structure of code as follows,
myproject/
         /build.xml
         /src
             /packageone/NewOne.java
             /packagetwo/Two.java
         /lib
         /images

How should I go about this? should I checkout into a work dir and then
delete all of its contents ,then create the new code structure and
then commit ?
Or should I delete the directories from repo first?

Any help appreciated
regards
mark
