The svn delete command deletes an item from a working copy or the repository. The synopsis is:

 svn delete <url or path file>

or

 svn del <url or path file>

or

 svn remove <url or path file> 

or

 svn rm <url or path file>

To delete a file or a directory from your working copy use the following command:

 svn delete MyFile.txt 

After that, you can see the local status

 svn stat

The output will be:

 D MyFile.txt

If you want delete the file in repository then you must execute the commit

 svn ci -m "Delete MyFile"

Instead to delete an item from repository, for example, an obsolete branch, use the following command:

 svn delete https://mysvnrep/svn/myproject/branches/myproject-0.0.1 -m "delete obsolete branch"
