Step 1: Get a client

• TortoiseSVN client for Windows

Step 2: Find somewhere to host your SVN repository

• If it's open-source I'd recommend google code.
  I've also used Assembla. 2GB of storage space and unlimited users.

Hey dandymcgee,

I'm thinking about using Assembla, and would you consider it to be reliable?

I don't seen why not. It's a popular and professional service. Of course these are assumptions, as I have not actually read any of the site's policies.

how do i delete stuff off the svn? via windows (witch im using.)

I firmly believe that when someone is new to a programming language, they're better off by learning how to use the command line tools first, and then switching to a GUI-based IDE, and SVN is prominent enough to where I think this idea should apply here as well. You would learn a lot more about Subversion if you downloaded a command line client, and read this book. That way, you wouldn't have any problems switching between platforms, and it may even make you more productive.

Look here, and you'll see that TortoiseSVN offers the Repo-browser and the ability to Delete content from the repository depending on the context of your click.

Mess around, and try every possible thing you can think of before coming here to ask, even if it doesn't seem like the obvious answer. It would make you a better problem solver.

TortoiseSVN is an easy-to-use source control software for Microsoft Windows and possibly the best standalone Subversion client there is.

It is implemented as a Windows shell extension, which makes it integrate seamlessly into the Windows explorer.

Since it's not an integration for a specific IDE you can use it with whatever development tools you like.

lessee... well, if you have a clone of the repository on your computer, just make whatever changes you want, cd in, and svn commit.

Do you actually know and have experience with svn, or were you just guessing? If the OP meant adding files to the repository like the post mentions (acerookie1's post was semi-illiterate), then your suggestion would be missing a step.
