Problem removing File external

Hi,

I mistakenly added some file externals to one of my projects and I'm 
struggling to get rid of them. I thought that once they had been removed 
from the externals property they would be deleted from the WC at the next 
update. If I do a file manager delete on them, they are re-created. What 
have I missed?

Simon

I thought that might be the case, thanks.

It seems it's not possible to remove file externals from a wc. See the
following issue:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3351

So I guess the only workaround is to checkout a new WC...
