How to solve Eclipse Team Foundation Server download Mapping Error?

Question

I'm working on Eclipse Team Foundation Server Explore(TFS), but once I Disconnect Project and delete it(Select delete Contents in the popup dialog),then I download the Project in TFS,it comes a yellow exclamation mark front of the project menu,and it is said "The selected project is mapped locally to the folder for project and cannot be imported".But I was sure that My local file isn't exist and it's deleted by me. So I want to know is it a way to remove the mapping? I'm bother to it for I need to create a new workspace while I want to download the project after deleting the project.Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

The problem is you deleted the files directly from folder. you should remove the mapping by following the steps: - go to Team Explorer-> Source Control - Right click on folder/project you've got before - Select Remove Mapping

Then selected project could be Imported.

Answer 2

Team Foundation Server workspace mappings exist both on the server and on the client. "Disconnect Project Permanently" disconnects Team Explorer Everywhere as the source control provider from these Eclipse projects. It does not remove workspace mappings. Thus, you cannot map new folders into these existing locations.

The "Disconnect Project Permanently" step is unnecessary here, and if you simply delete the projects in Eclipse, Team Explorer Everywhere will unmap the working folders from your workspace.
