We require to delete the branches(folder and files) from SVN server to

Please help on this as what command we should use to delete the
branches(folder and files). We have used below command but its not working
1. svn delete branch name
2. svnadmin delete branch name
3. svn rm branch name
4. svnadmin rm branch name
5. del branch name
In addition to the guidance given about the svn repository being
immutable, and towards possible filtering, let me share the following:
Check for old, uncommitted transactions taking up disk space. If they
are old you can remove them as they are unlikely to ever become a
revision. On disk this is db/transactions which you can check for space.
To operated on them I recommend you use "svnadmin lstxns" / "svnadmin
rmtxns".
$ svnadmin help lstxns
lstxns: usage: svnadmin lstxns REPOS_PATH
Print the names of uncommitted transactions. With -rN skip the output
of those that have a base revision more recent than rN. Transactions
with base revisions much older than HEAD are likely to have been
abandoned and are candidates to be removed.
Valid options:
-r [--revision] ARG : transaction base revision ARG
$ svnadmin help rmtxns
rmtxns: usage: svnadmin rmtxns REPOS_PATH TXN_NAME...
Delete the named transaction(s).
