How do I disconnect code generated by a T4 template from that template?

Question

When I 'run' a T4 template, the class files it generates for me all appear under the template. I cannot remove the template from the project without the files going away too. I also can't copy the files out from 'under' the template into the project root because the are already in the project root. How can I emancipate these files from the template that created them?

Answer 1

Get creative:

1. Right click and open containing folder.
2. Drag-and-drop the generated file to another location in the solution.
3. Delete the original template and file from Visual Studio.
4. Presto.
