Steps to delete workspaces from the TFS server:

1. Open Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt.

2. Goto Program Files (x86) folder, depending on the installed visual studio select "Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0" folder. Here this I have selected it because I am having Visual Studio 2013 installed on my machine. Add this path in the command prompt. Add like "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE"

   Note: If you have an access of the TFS server from the network then you can try it from any machine where Visual Studio has been installed or from the same TFS machine server if it has Visual Studio there.

3. Check a list of workspaces under specific collection. Type below command to get the workspaces under one collection.

   cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\tf workspaces /server:http://{TFSServername}:8080/tfs/{CollectionName} /owner:*

   • In the above command replace {TFSServername} this with your TFS servername or the Server IP.
   • In the above command replace {CollectionName} this with actual TFS Collection Name.
