how to delete a developers workspace

A developer has left, and his workstation is now formatted. TFS thinks he still has files checked out. Clearly he'll never be checking them in. How do I tell TFS to forget about it?

Deleting a workspace, and undoing another user check-out (and much more!) can be done using the Sidekick tool (it is free). Specifically look at Workspace Sidekick and Status Sidekick:

Forcibly check them out by another user and then commit them. ("Break lock")
