There have been times when I’ve wanted to remove the .svn subversion repository folder from an entire directory.  With Windows Powershell, you can do that in a one line command:

get-childitem C:\your-directory -include .svn -recurse -force | foreach ($_) { remove-item $_.fullname -recurse -force}

The one thing I discovered is that you need to include “-force” in order for windows to “see” the hidden folders and files.

I highly recommend you add the –whatif parameter to the end of the remove-item command before you run this just to be sure its only hitting the files you want.

This article was helpful in getting me on track.
