visual studio - Deleting a folder in TFS

Question

I created a folder in a TFS Project under workspace "CPortalWS". I deleted the workspace, but now I would like to delete the folder in the project and the delete option is not available.

I've tried to create a new workspace mapped to the project but I still don't get the option to delete.

Is this a bug in TFS? How can I delete the folder?

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Deleting a folder in TFS is a little strange.

You have to:

• Create a Workspace

• Get the latest source for the folder (to your local machine)

• Inside Source Explorer, delete the folder

• Check in your changes (this is the step that deletes the folder in Source Control)
