Delete .svn folders recursively using command line

some times i work on small projects with friends and we use Subversion to track and store code changes, collaborate, and share project files so once we finish we usually upload it somewhere by copying the whole project folder so i face that subversion makes folder inside each folder in the project called ".svn" and that take time to remove manually and unnecessary size to upload
so i run a command inside the project folder to remove that folders recursively before upload.

Run this:

find . -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;
