Unable to add Solution to TFS 2010 due to existing (invisible)binding

Question

I have a smallish utility library I made that I had created in TFS Beta 2 to test out TFS. I now have TFS rc1 installed(and Beta 2 uninstalled) and am trying to add my Solution to TFS.

I get an error saying that it is already bound to my old TFS, which was on a different system then this one. Strangely, when I go into Source Control and look at the bindings it says there aren't any. Also, I manually deleted the .vss and .vsc files and it still does it.

Ideas? I looked through the numerous other SO topics related to this but unless I missed one none of them are dealing with my issue.

Ideas?

Grab the TFS Sidekicks from Attrice. They have a workspace sidekick, you can pretty quickly find your old machine and unbind/delete that workspace from TFS.

Once you install:

• VS Menu Bar
• Tools
• Team Foundation Sidekicks
• Workspace Sidekick
• Owner will defult to you, just clear machine name
• Search
• Select old workspace, click the red X to delete
