If you want to remove .svn folders from a directory in Windows, for example let’s say that you need to import an existing repository into a new repository and do some clean up, then you can even use the Windows batch or commend line to do that.

The easiest way is that you create a simple .bat file in the directory where you want to remove .svn folders recursively.

Then, you can add the following content:

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B /AD /S *.svn*') DO RMDIR /S /Q "%%G"

Finally, just go to your command line and run the .bat file and all your .svn folders will be removed recursively. At this point you are ready to import the content into a new SVN repository.
