How do i remove files from the Pending Changes list in TFS when those files weren't in the source yet and have been deleted locally

Someone added a workspace inco开发者_如何学运维rrectly, so after I fixed it TFS thought I had added some files to the project (dll, pdb, and xmls). So I tried just deleting the files and refreshing the pending changes. I tried clicking undo, but the Output window says

No pending changes were found for $/SourceCode/Apps/.../Lib.dll.

(I replaced part of the full path here). So the undo won't do anything. I tried "Refresh Status" under File-> Source Control after every step. I tried re-adding these files and then doing the undo. So for example I am stuck with

Name         Change

UI.xml         add, lock

Design.dll         add, lock

and can't remove them. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Don't delete. Once you "add" them to TFS, it creates an entry in the database just waiting for the files. Instead, undo your "add."

That's actually how to fix this problem as well.

Right click on any source file in the source explorer, and choose Undo Pending Changes. Uncheck everything except for the two files that you need to get rid of the add. Click OK to undo those changes.

That will clean up everything in the TFS database.
