Subversion design is focused on the idea that *no client* can delete history.

Subversion does not provide an API or command to delete a repository. To delete a repository you need direct access to the filesystem and you simply remove the folder for the repository. TortoiseSVN can only delete a local repository where it has this sort of access. It is not possible to do it via the server protocol. Mark
Not able to delete a repo from the CLI for Subversion
I'm cleaning up Subversion repos that got spread out by accident and going to upgrade Subversion from v 1.6.11 to a newer version on a new RHEL7 VM. There are repos that were created that are either no longer used or were created haphazardly. The daemon is on and I can grep successfully from the CLI. I'm trying to use the following command via the CLI to delete a repo: svn delete -m "delete repo that is no longer needed" file:///data/svn/dept_A/test svn: 'file:///data/svn/IMO' isn't in the same repository as 'file:///data/svn/dept_A/test' http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.svn.c.delete.html I've also tried to use the ip address too and got this error message: svn rm svn://192.168.5.49/dept_A/test -m "delete repo" Authentication realm: 678af798-5732-4a81-9cfb-4040117c6091 Password for 'user': svn: 'svn://192.168.5.49/dept_A' isn't in the same repository as 'svn://192.168.5.49/dept_A/test' I was able to delete another repo via TortoiseSVN with no issues, and leave a comment. However I would feel more comfortable doing the cleanup the CLI. Can someone advise me on what I'm doing incorrectly or is there another way to do this? thanks Christopher M.
