I am learning to use Subversion and am experimenting. I checked out a copy of a test repo and put it where I don’t want it — and, in fact, I don’t want it at all anymore.
I don’t want to just delete it — or is that the thing to do?

Just delete your complete local checked-out working copy (including all .svn directories).
This will not modify your repository as you are not committing your deletion.
Note: If you want to move the local working directory to another location on your harddisk, just move (the top-level) directory to its new location and your local working copy is still working properly (ie the link with your repository is not lost)
