How can I delete all unversioned/ignored files/folders in my working copy?

Question

If I have a working copy of a Subversion repository, is there a way to delete all unversioned or ignored files in that working copy with a single command or tool? Essentially, I'm looking for the SVN analogue to git clean.

Either a command line or GUI solution (for TortoiseSVN) would be acceptable.

Answer 1

This oneliner might help you:

$ svn status | grep '^?' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs rm -rf

Use with care!

Answer 2

Hi, you can't delete them with just SVN command line (not sure about GUI tools though) if you are under linux system this might help:

The other (brutal) method is to commit changes, delete all from folder and checkout again.

This is similar to other answers, but actually gets ignored files (note the 'I' in the REs):

 rm -rf `svn status --no-ignore | grep '^[\?I]' | sed 's/^[\?I]//'`

Answer 4

Using TortoiseSVN:

1. Right-Click on the root of the working copy and select TortoiseSVN -> "check for modifications"
2. Select "Show ignored files"
3. Sort by "Text status" column
4. scroll to the "non-versioned" files, now all grouped together; select them all and right-click -> delete
5. scroll to the "ignored" files, now all grouped together; select them all and right-click -> delete

Not really a nice and clean solution, but the fastest way I know of (on Windows).

Thanks to pkh for the tip with the ignored files.

Using TortoiseSVN: * right-click on working copy folder, while holding the shift-key down * choose "delete unversioned items"
