How to get rid of "The solution you are trying to open is bound to source control" message

Question

I have a Visual Studio solution files copied from a source controlled solution. I don't want it to be source controlled and when I open it I get the message: the solution you are trying to open is bound to source control

I deleted the .vssscc files but still get the message. How can I get rid of it?

Thanks.

You need to clean the solution file (.sln) by removing the following GlobalSection:

GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl) = preSolution     SccNumberOfProjects = 2     SccEnterpriseProvider = {4CA58AB2-18FA-4F8D-95D4-32DDF27D184C}     SccTeamFoundationServer = http://example.com/tfs/defaultcollection     SccLocalPath0 = .     /// --- more solution specific stuff omitted --- /// EndGlobalSection 

and you need to remove the source control references from every single project file (.csproj for C# projects):

... <SccProjectName>SAK</SccProjectName> <SccLocalPath>SAK</SccLocalPath> <SccAuxPath>SAK</SccAuxPath> <SccProvider>SAK</SccProvider> ...
