TFS 2010: Delete/Remove Branch

Question

Hi,

I accidentally branched into the wrong sub folder and now I have a Branch at a totally wrong Position in my folder herarchy.

How can I now get rid of this Branch (with all it's history, ...) (It's even to late to move it, because I did the Branch to the correct location afterwards, because I needed it there)

I'm using VS 2010 Pro with TFS 2010

Thanks,
Reinhard.

Hi,

Right Click the Branch and click delete and then do a Check-in.

 

Answer 2

Thanks,

the problem was thet 'Delete' was grayed.
I had to get the latest Version before deleteing it was possible, but then it worked.

Answer 3

Once you create a workspace mapping for your branch and right click "Get latest version", that "Delete" menu will be enabled in the VS Team Explorer.

Do a Check-in after the Delete command.

Answer 4

use tf destroy command.
