unix command to delete the .svn folders
This command will delete all those pesky .svn directories that have been left by subversion:-
find ./ -name ".svn" | xargs rm -Rf
(obviously you will want to keep the .svn folders if you are still using subversion!)
find . -name “.svn” -print0 | xargs -0 rm -Rf
(those are zeros, not ohs, if your font shows them ambigiously)
This is slightly safer as is used a null byte () as the delimiter between entries, rather than a space. This means that if I happen to have a folder called “foo” and one with spaces in called “foo bar”, you might find a .svn dir present in “foo bar” will cause the whole of the “foo” directory to be deleted.

find . -name “._*” -print0 | xargs -0 rm -Rf
handy to run before uploading a project via ftp.
