URL does not exist
I created a directory in SVN with a 'space in it'. After deleting the directory, it still shows: "Directory%20Name"....however, if I try to delete it so it does not show, I get this error:
Error while performing action: URL 'Directory Name' does not exist
How can I clean this directory up it still shows from command line on subversion server itself when i do a svn list?

When I commit, save, and exit:
svn: URL 'Directory Name' does not exist
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: 'svn-commit.tmp'
trying %2520:
svn: URL 'Directory%20Name' does not exist
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: 'svn-commit.2.tmp'

I don't know how that would have come to pass if you didn't mean for that to occur, but perhaps RapidSVN does not properly handle items whose names contain spaces.

I don't know anything about RapidSVN, but it sounds like the directory name in the repository might not be "Directory Name" but might in fact be "Directory%20Name". I don't know how that would have come to pass if you didn't mean for that to occur, but perhaps RapidSVN does not properly handle items whose names contain spaces.

And what happens when you enter a commit message, save, and close? Does the commit succeed or do you get the error that "Directory Name" does not exist? If so, try:
svn delete svn://localhost/SVN_REP/Directory%2520Name
(where "%25" is the percent-encoding for the percent sign).

-I created and deleted using RapidSVN on a MAC
-svn list svn://localhost/SVN_REP
APIs/
Installs/
Directory%20Name/

-RapidSVN produces this error:
"Error while performing action: URL 'Directory Name' does not exist"
-svn delete svn://localhost/SVN_REP/Directory%20Name puts me in Joe's Editor with the following:
--This line, and those below, will be ignored--
D svn://localhost/SVN_REP/Directory%20Name

In a working copy, presumably.

How did you delete the directory?

Where does it show this? What command did you type and what was the complete output produced?

How did you try to delete it? What command produced that error message?
