D365FO delete TFS workspaces (ghost workspace)

Hi,

It becomes headache one needs to change TFS account on Visual Studio. Following these steps may save your lots of time cleaning your previous workspace and configure new one. First try the lucky way if it didn't for you go for painful way.

Lucky way:

1- Close Visual Studio

2- Open Run (Win+R) and paste one by one the following and delete anything inside:

    %localappdata%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\6.0\Cache\

    %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio

    %localappdata%\Microsoft\VSCommon

3- Restart your VM

4- Open visual studio and configure with new account

Painful way:

1- Close Visual Studio

2- Open Run (Win+R) and paste one by one the following and delete anything inside:

    %localappdata%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\6.0\Cache\

    %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio

    %localappdata%\Microsoft\VSCommon

3- Open command and run following commands:

• Goto IDE folder where the workspace program exist
  Cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE
• Check all the current workspaces
  tf workspaces /server:https://dev.azure.com/{org} /computer:{ComputerName} /owner:* /format:detailed
• If you see any ghost workspace delete it
  tf workspace /delete /server:https://https://dev.azure.com/{org} '{WorkspaceName};{UserName}
  
  if above command give error run it with user id instead of username
  tf workspace /delete /server:https://https://dev.azure.com/{org} '{WorkspaceName};{UserId}

• Run this command to sure it's deleted
  tf workspaces /server:https://dev.azure.com/{org} /computer:{ComputerName} /owner:* /format:detailed

4- Restart your VM

5- Open visual studio and configure with new account
