Hmm, I get

C:\Users\kirsty.pollock>svn rm http:/[/ipaddress]/svn_repository/source/c%3a

svn: E175002: Unexpected HTTP status 405 'Method Not Allowed' on '/svn_repository/source/c:'
svn: E175002: Additional errors:
svn: E175002: PROPFIND request on '/svn_repository/source/c:' failed: 405 Method Not Allowed
