Remove SVN checkout

I accidentally put a checkout in the root of my drive, not in a sub directory. Normally to remove an SVN checkout I just delete the directory in which I created the checkout.

Since this is now my complete drive, I cannot do this. Is there another way to remove a checkout?

In windows explorer, I now see that my drive is versioned, which is not what I want.

In the directory you accidentally checked out to there will be a hidden .svn directory that you can delete. This will return it to a normal directory which you can clean up.

You will need to show hidden files in order to see the .svn directory.
