.partial files when checking out of TFS

When I check out a solution from TFS a get a lot of .partial-files all over the project.

They are not on the TFS-Server, just on my PC. Sadly some of them prevent my solution from running and I always have to delete them manually. Can I somehow prevent this? Where do they come from?

How do you check in and check out in TFS?

Right-click your project or project suite in the Project Explorer and then click Source Control > Check Out for Edit. Click Check Out for Edit on the Source Control toolbar (if the toolbar is hidden, right-click the toolbar area and select Source Control). Start editing the needed project item.

What does check out mean in TFS?

Checking out files means to copy the latest source control files to your local Lingo project and remove the "Read Only" designation from them so that you can edit the files.

How do I check out of TFS code in Visual Studio?

Right click on the Project/File --> Choose the option 'Check Out For Edit'.

These files exist in the local path of your workspace but not added into source control. For the partial extension file, you can refer to this page for the meanings.

You can delete or ignore them directly. If you want to prevent it, you can also change the local path of your workspace, then you will not see the files.

Another option is creating a new workspace and using a different local path, then do a workspace mapping.
