tfs - Team Build Error: The Path ... is already mapped to workspace

Question

When creating a new build in Team Foundation Server, I get the following error when attempting to run the new build:

The path C:BuildProductReleasesFullBuildv5.4.2xSources is already mapped to workspace BuildServer_23.

I am unable to see a workspace by that name in the workspaces dialog.

Answer 1

Use the command line utility TF - Team Foundation Version Control Tool (tf).

You can get a list of all workspaces by bringing up a Visual Studio Command Prompt then changing to your workspace folder and issuing the following commands:

C:YourWorkspaceFolder>tf workspaces /owner:*

You should see your problem workspace in the list as well as it's owner.

You can delete the workspace with the following command:

C:YourWorkspaceFolder>tf workspace /delete /server:BUILDSERVER WORKSPACENAME;OWNERNAME
