SVN has nothing like VSS's "Destroy" command.
If you want to obliterate a repository, you can delete it from the
server's disk.
If you just want to remove something from the current HEAD, you can do
an 'svn delete' on it.
If you want to permanently remove a particular path from a repository,
you could use the 'svndumpfilter' tool as illustrated here:

Hope this helps.
