You might save only a few seconds, but professional developers need to get into the habit of automating tasks as much as possible to save as much time as possible (just think when you need to accomplish hundreds of tasks a day) @Wow - Yes of course you can do a search like that … there’s nothing wrong with it at all, but going through the GUI for every task you need to do is awkward and you’d have manually do it every time.

However, not everybody on Windows uses TortoiseSVN as the SVN client (there are lots of SVN clients for Windows), and it appears that the export function of TortoiseSVN will only work if your locally versioned folder has been managed by TortoiseSVN from the start.

Right click on the folder and click Search.. Enter .svn as the filename to search for. Click "More advanced options" and select: - Search hidden files and folders - Search subfolders Press search button and delete the folders you find appropriate. Oh, and this description is at least valid for windows xp pro. I personally would do a Google search for Cygwin, install it, and use the unix style "find" mentioned above..
