What do I need to be able to delete a user's workspace?

I need to delete the workspace of a user that has some files checked out.

My account is a member of Administration Console users, TFS_APPTIER_SERVICE_WPG and the Application Tier's Team Foundation Administrators group.

The Team Foundation Administrators group has all privileges except "Make requests on behalf of others":

Administer Warehouse
Create Team Project Collection
Delete Team Project Collection
Edit Instance-level information

Make requests on behalf of others

Trigger events
Use full Web Access features
View instance-level information

I can access the Team Foundation Server Administration Console, but the File menu only has "Exit".

I understand that I can also do this from the tf utility, but I can't find it or perhaps I don't have this utility installed (Where can I look for it?).

If you install Visual Studio 201x Team Explorer you'll get tf.exe.

Here is the 2013 link VS 2013 Team Explorer

Then you can find tf.exe here:

Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE

If the user has not left the company then you can just undo their pending changes:

tf.exe undo /workspace

tf.exe undo

Or if you really want to delete the workspace completely:

tf.exe workspace /delete

Tf.exe Workspace
