I realize now that I haven't been clear! I just want to oblit the files that were put into the wrong place, and leave the versions that were integrated into the right place. I don't believe a branch spec was ever involved in the process.
thanks to all for the info, btw!

Dave,
Is this your scenario?
1) create/submit some files # albeit in the wrong location 2) integrate said files to correct location # we'll call it a branch 3) obliterate original files # bye-bye
Your question: Will the "newly branched" files be removed as well? Answer: No. And as a bonus, I believe your revision histories, from the now defunct files, are updated/transfered to the "new branch" as well (but I haven't tested the bonus part).
