Question: I am trying to remove a directory from my repository. I delete the folder and do an svn commit and i get the following error :

> 
> Error: Commit failed (details follow):

My user has rw permissions on [/], and i can commit new or modified files

any ideas on what the problem might be?

EDIT: 

Seems i can perform single file deletes but i cannot remove a directory. Example
i can remove
\data\a.txt
but not 
\data

EDIT2:

Answer: 
When you delete the folder from the file system SVN believes something's missing in your copy, so it shows an error.

Instead, you should not delete the folder manually but telling SVN to delete it - that way SVN will delete the folder contents and mark it for deletion upon next commit.

You can use "svn rm" command for that operation.
Tell SVN that you want to delete the folder with "svn rm", then commit.
