I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional, and I've been using the TFS service at visualstudio.com. I've read this question and it's answer as well as other things around the web. However, TFSDeleteProject doesn't seem to be part of my development toolset.

So, how can I delete a project?

    Did you look in here? C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE – Christopher Painter Apr 12 '13 at 02:01
  • Looks like it's probably there, since I have the same installation at work as at home (or very close). Microsoft's website said it was in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC... I didn't even think to simply perform a search! Heh. Post that as the answer and I'll accept. – Steve Apr 12 '13 at 11:45
  • You should also have a Visual Studio 20XX Command Prompt icon in the start menu/screen. Run that and it'll put this directory in the path. – Christopher Painter Apr 12 '13 at 11:59

Since TFS @ visualstudio.com is 2012 based, it's best (and sometimes required) to perform administration functions using Team Explorer 2012.

Regardless of whether you have 2010 or 2012 installed you'll find the EXE you are looking for in:

 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio XX.0\Common7\IDE*

*Substitute (x86) and XX.0 as needed

Additionally you should have a Visual Studio 20XX Command Prompt shortcut in your start menu. Running that will create a CMD session with the above directory in the path.

  • Turns out that the TFSDeleteProject.exe that is included with VS2010 can't delete projects on visualstudio.com. – Steve Apr 12 '13 at 14:07
  • I suspected as much. "(and sometimes required)" Just install Team Explorer 2012 (link provided) and run it from that directory. – Christopher Painter Apr 12 '13 at 14:48
  • What if I'm running a Mac and using a git based project? :) – Kyle Oct 17 '13 at 11:18
  • @Zenox- You should post that as a new question. FWIW if you have an MSDN subscribtion you can download Team Explorer Everywhere 2013 @ http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/json/GetDownloadRequest?brand=MSDN&locale=en-us&fileId=56203&activexDisabled=false&akamaiDL=true – Christopher Painter Oct 17 '13 at 11:21
