Is there any way to delete the latest revision from SVN?

My latest SVNrevision has several files missing so I would like to switch to my previous revision and carry on from there. Is that possible? Any good suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

You cannot delete the revision, but you can "undo" it using reverse merge. Here's an example:

cd working/copy
svn merge -c -13 ^/repo/trunk
svn commit -m "Undoing change committed in r13."

See Undoing Changes in the docs.

using svn revision history, revert the folder back to previous revision (required) and then commit the changes. This should take you to your required status of the code
