Posted on January 3, 2011 Updated on November 25, 2012

We use find command to find all .svn folders beginning from current directory.

$ find . -type d -name .svn
 ./.svn
 ./testA/.svn
 ./testB/.svn
 ./testB/module/.svn
 ./testC/.svn

then delete all the .svn folders

rm -rf `find . -type d -name .svn`
