subversion checkout accidently to C:\ drive - how undue?

[dba2010 <lc...@drwholdings.com>]

I accidently checked out a project to the c drive and now all of the
folders on the c drive including the program files have question marks
on them and are read only.  How do I undue this?

Can you delete these from the command line via the "rd /s/q" command?

I can't imagine how you're able to create a folder, but not be able to
delete it in Windows. However, it may be possible that some Window
process (maybe Windows Explorer itself) has a directory of file that
it thinks is open.

You may have to reboot your system to kill whatever process is holding
that file or directory open and then open up a command line prompt and
delete via the "rd /s/q" command. You can see that via the Task
Manager.

I mistakenly thought that if I checked out to the C:\ drive that the nested folders underneath would be created automatically.  Instead, the whole C drive was checked out plus the nested folders that I wanted were checked out as well.  Using the instructions that Andy sent fixed the issue.  Afterwards I manually created the correct folder structure and checked out only to that structure.  All worked as expected after that.

Thanks,
Laura

By the way: how did you even do this? "svn checkout" normally creates
a folder or directory to contain the working copy. Did you hardcode a
checkout to "C:" or something?

I removed the .svn hidden folder under c and can't find any others but
the files are still in the same state.  Anything else to try?

this sounds like you're using TSVN.
In that case better ask on the users@tortoisesvn.tigris.org mailing
list.
