Can't delete local copy of SVN
When I try to remove a few leftover SVN repository artifacts locally to remove the entire repository, it is not possible, because I get:
- "unable to delete (file in the .SVN directory) the file name you specified is invalid or too long
But when I look at the file and delete it individually, it like the file doesn't really exist, there are no options like copy, paste, delete ... only the left icon of the icon, but I can't delete it (or it root folder).
I tried to run cleanup, update nothing works ... without renaming the directory to myrepos_crap and just start.

This can happen when the file's shared path and name are too long for Windows. Try to rename some of the top directories to something shorter and repeat the deletion.
I assume you are on Windows because I don't think Linux has this problem and you are talking about a turtle.
Edit: oh, and also not a programming question - belongs to SU.
