How to Remove/Delete Deleted Projects from TFS Source Control

Question

I'm using TFS 2012 (Free preview).

I have a bunch of projects in my solution under source control.

Sometimes I find it the easiest solution to a problem to just scrap an entire project and start over. However, everytime I do that I run into trouble because the "deleted" project stays in the Source Control Explorer with a "deleted" status (Show/Hide Deleted Items button) and, at best, sticks around as junk, and at worst leads, to conflicts later on.

How can I get all traces of them removed?

Answer 1

You can use the tf destroy command. This is non recoverable.
