Check in delete files/renamed files/moved files to TFS using command line

I'm basically doing something like dropbox but using TFS.

Everything works smooth except when I delete a file in side my workspace folder.

Let's say I deleted a file test.txt in my local workspace (already mapped to TFS); when I use tf add $/Test/Doc /recursive, it's saying no pending change detected.

But if I use tf status $/Test/Doc /recursive, I could see the delete change actually is detected. Similar case happen when I do rename a file or move a file into another folder under Doc.

Is there any way to add this detected changes to pending change and use tf checkin $/Test/Doc /recursive to checkin?

I tried to use tfpt online /deletes also, but with error "This command doesn't support local workspaces."

If this problem can be solved without using tfpt will be better. Thanks ahead.

Do not delete the files in the local workspace directly. This may cause some unkonwn troubles. If you want to delete the files in source control , you can use this command tf delete (local mapping path)\test.txt (Make sure you have enough permissions). Then check in your changes.

For your situation:

First, you can undo your pending changes use undo command.

  • If you want to delete the test.txt, use the command mentioned above.
  • If you still need it, you can remapp it from sever to your local worksapce.
