I've been using SVN for 2 years, but very novice when it comes down to the big stuff. I searched for similar topics but I didn't see any that related to my question. I'm struggling with deleting a working copy of a project that shows it's still connected to the repository (see attached image), but the .svn file is missing. The image shows everything in the working copy folder, which to view hidden files. The name was changed in the repository, but I don't know if anything in this project is still truly connected. Is there another way to safely delete this project?

if the .svn folder really isn't there anymore, you can either try to kill the TSVNCache.exe process or run a cleanup and have the "refresh icon overlays" checkbox checked.
but first make sure the .svn folder is really gone.

Normally, doing a search in the folder for svn will pull up the file, but it's just gone. That's why it's so confusing. Will killing tsvncache.exe process affect other projects and files I have in the parent folder where this project lives?

killing the TSVNCache process will not affect any projects: that's the status cache process and it will automatically restart, but then since it hasn't saved the status cache to disk will fetch the status from scratch.
