removing files from repository

Hi
If i check in a large binary file into svn by mistake, and now i want to 
remove it. simply deleting it and committing the change is not what i 
want because it will still be in the repository and will increase the 
size of backups.
how do i delete this file from the repository for good...as if it was 
never checked in to begin with?

thanks
