Getting not found SourceFolder in TFS 2015 build

We're experiencing problems with a build, since had been working fine up until last week Thursday. Now we get this error whenever it runs:

Not found SourceFolder: C:\agent_work\34\s\PharmacyWarehouse\PharmacyWarehouse\bin\release\app.publish

This is in our test build environment. It fails on the Copy Files task. Both the source and destination folders are on the build server, so I think Copy Files would be fine. Here's our environment for test:

According to your description and error message. This may related to cache for build agent/server.

When you add a Visual Studio Build / MSBuild task to build the project, make sure you have checked the Clean option or set Clean=True. Thus it will delete all got source and generated build output which generated from prior builds.

Clean Option : Set to False if you want to make this an incremental build. This setting might reduce your build time, especially if your codebase is large. This option has no practical effect unless you also set Clean repository to False.

Set to True if you want to rebuild all the code in the code projects. This is equivalent to the MSBuild /target:clean argument.

Also check if there are enough drive space in your build agent/server.

Besides, you could also reinstall build agent or upgrade your build agent version. This will force delete/recreate working folder. Which may do the trick.
