Create a new TFS Team Project and use existing source control folder

Question

I currently have a source control folder in TFS with all of my source code. Is it possible to create a new team project and use the existing source control folder?

I have the option to create a new source control folder, create a new branch or not to create one at all. But is there a way of using an existing folder?

[Edit] To clarify: I have previously had a Team Project and Source Control folder called ProjectA and $/ProjectA. If I delete the Team Project but retain the Source control folder $/ProjectA and then later want to recreate a Team Project called ProjectA, with a new template say, can I reattach the existing source control folder $/ProjectA?

Sounds like I might not be able to?

No - I'm afraid that you must have a folder in source control for your Team Project.

Under the hood a few settings for the Team Project are actually stored in the version control system on the "$/TeamProject" folder, hence the dependancy TFS has for a version control folder to match the Team Project name.

Can I ask why you wanted to create a new team project like this? There might be another way to achieve what you want, or if not it would be valuable feedback for the Microsoft team anyway.

All the best,

Martin.
