Visual Studio 2008 adding incorrect working folders to TFS Workspace

I am using Visual Studio 2008 with TFS. I have one workspace set up with one working folder. I map the root source control folder $/ to C:\TFS and get all code. When working on any project under the root, Visual Studio will randomly add incorrectly mapped working folders to my workspace.

For example, it might map $/WebProject/ to C:\TFS\WebProject\DataAccess -- where the real files exist at C:\TFS\WebProject.

Once it incorrectly adds these working folders, I can no longer open the solution. I am forced to remove the working folders that Visual Studio added and get latest from TFS.

Has anyone experienced this? Is there something I can do to avoid running into this?

+2  A: 

go to "Source Control Explorer". Click on the "Workspace" dropdown. Select "Workspaces" and delete any custom workspaces you don't need.

Update:

Your vs2008 TFS cache might be corrupt. Your cache is located here:

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\1.0\Cache

Install Team Foundation Sidekick and look at your workspaces

What do you see there?

I only have one workspace and one working folder defined. The issue is that Visual Studio is adding working folders that are incorrectly mapped to my existing workspace.

The workspace loads. It also shows the extra incorrect mappings. I think this may happen after one team member checks in code, and I get latest. Does that make any sense?

Did you install Sidekick? Can you upload a photo of what you see in Sidekick (afer, obviously, redacting sensitive information)
