Deleting a project in SVN with Subclipse

Question

I would like to completely remove a project from version control from inside Eclipse using the Subclipse plug-in.

My requirement is similar to the one at this question except that I don't want to keep the local files either.

The Team context menu doesn't offer anything promising.

Answer 1

I am afraid you will have to do this the hard way from the command line. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/re08.html

Tank you, Navi, that is the way I ended up using. Unfortunately there seems to be no proper way to do it from subclipse (at least for top-level projects, see Raghuram's answer) – Chemoreceptor

Thanks, this is basically what I did too.. Though I first disconnected the resources from the SVN server and then committed them as though they were completely new, in to the desired spot. This kind of mucks up the work-flow for tracking changes within a specific document from before the move. But whatever. – Regin

Answer 2

Go to

Window - Show view - Svn repositories

You can then right click on folders and delete them.

Answer 3

You could delete all the files and folders that you want from Eclipse and then do Team -> Commit... . This will delete the project from Eclipse as well as remove it locally.

Thank you, Raghuram, it didnt work for me, at least not for the top-level project : if i delete the project, there is nothing i can select the Team->Commit on. It could work for a subproject though – Chemoreceptor
