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:
my authz

**EDIT:**
solution is on comments of the right answer

Answer: 
Are you using path-based authorization? If so, check your authz configuration for errors.

If you had said you could checkout, but not commit (add/modify/delete) and verified that authorization is OK, then I'd say check your working copy URL server name, there is a tricky issue (with path-based authorization) where checkout is case-insensitive (for server name), but commit is case-sensitive. In that case you need to do a relocate.

EDIT: Can you perform the delete remotely? 

`svn delete URL`

That would remove the WC as source of problem.
Tell SVN that you want to delete the folder with "svn rm", then commit.
