Delete .svn folders recursively

Very often scenarios crop up when we want to clean our mammoth source code repository without having to export it elsewhere. I was looking for an elegant way to delete hidden .svn folders which are created by tortoise svn to keep track of the repository state on the client. I found this site which provided an elegant way which precisely meets my requirement.

I modified a minor glitch in the command to enable directory deletion from the folders which contain a space in name.

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B /AD /S *.svn*') DO RMDIR /S /Q "%%G"
