Why can I see my source code in the Source Control Explorer even after using TfsDeleteProject?

Posted on November 28, 2007 by Steven Borg

If you’ve axed a Team Project using TfsDeleteProject.exe, you may still see remnants of it in the Source Control Explorer.  This can be very frustrating.  But the solution is simple.  You simply need to delete any workspaces that are currently referencing the source code in the deleted projects and they will go away.  (If you need to manage the deletion of multiple workspaces I highly recommend the Team Foundation Sidekicks tool from Attrice.  Thanks, Eugene!)

About Steven Borg

I'm a technology geek with a strong passion for process, teamwork and the "soft" skills that drive excellent software development teams. Over the past few years I've experienced both brilliant and abysmal software teams. My goal, right now, my burning desire is to improve the lot of the coder. Working in a good team is exhilarating, energizing and fun. It is also far more productive than the alternative. No developer should be left in a poor development team, not when they can be turned around. Turned around and made great!
