Hi Rajnish, 65GB isn't that large in terms of memory cost today... do you think your repo access is slow because of the size and is that the reason you want to delete files?
I'm new to SVN so I'm not 100% sure this is an option but what if you created a new repository and seeded it with a "recent-enough" version of your current repository?

Hi All, I am working on a repository in SVN. As this repository is quite old, its size has gone to 65GB. There were many files that was deleted. According to me SVN doesn’t allow permanent delete. So all those deleted file would be stored in the back end as a revision. I can view the names of the deleted files from the log. So is there any way to permanently get rid of deleted files, as this will reduce my server space issue also. Is there any commands that I can run on the server to get the list of all deleted items and to permanently delete them. Any help will be appreciated.
