Deleting committed test folders / files on Google Code?

Question

Is there a way to remove the test folders and files that I have committed to a Google Code branch?

Answer 1

You can use

svn delete your_file 

to delete the file, and, then, use

svn commit

to push the deletion to the server -- but note that will not delete anything from the SVN history : the way SVN works is to keep a trace of everything, which means permanently deleting something is not "allowed".

If you want to completly remove a file from the repository's history, it's a lot harder, and will require you to be admin of the repository -- which you are not, on google code.

See this entry of the Subversion's FAQ, about that : How do I completely remove a file from the repository's history?

Answer 2

You should just be able to do:

svn delete blah
svn commit 

provided everything is set up.
