How to REMOVE a role from a Windows Azure Project in VS2010

Question

Hi, Is there a UI way to remove a role from a Windows Azure project? I have 2 Worker Roles. I want to remove one of them. On the Roles node in Solution Explorer there is an "Add", but no "Remove". I can't find anything other than "Cut" - which says to me it will cut but not make the project consistent. I think I need to edit the service model then go around "cutting" all the nodes in the solution which have anything to do with my spare Worker Role. Is this right? Thanks, ...curiouser...

Answer 1

Hi Higly

try to right click the role itself, not the roles folder. there should be a menu entry remove - you can click Delete as well. After doing this you may remove the project from your solution. Hope this helps,

EDIT: It seems if your project is running, that the remove entry is hidden. Try to stop your project first.

Yes - it was still running. I've seen the Remove option now...
