SVN uses hidden directories, .svn or _svn by default. Before resorting to tinkering with these folders:
Usually the best thing you can do is fire up a copy of TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.net/) and hook it to your repository and working directories. Tortoise hooks into Explorer so it gives you a bit more holistic view of your working folder structure. Try the Unlock command on the files/folders, in question. If this works, (or doesn’t) Follow up with a “Cleanup” against the parent folder for the item in question (1 folder level higher) and then try the desired operation again.
If you’re using Ankh or a similar VS plugin these kind of locking issues can be fairly common, and annoying. 🙂
