SVN, as opposed to the dreaded VSS, does not clutter your project files with its "bindings": it keeps all its system information in .svn or _svn subfolders inside every version-controlled directory. Thus, "removing" version control from a project effectively means deleting all these folders.

This is tedious, however, so SVN has a special command called svn export which either "exports a clean directory tree from the repository specified by URL" or "exports a clean directory tree from the working copy ".
