I am using TFS2010, through VS2013, and when I go to my master branch, Branching and Merging > View Hierarchy. It shows up some deleted branches. They were excluded by myself long ago, but I can't remove them from diagram.
Here are the hierarchy view:
I already tried to remove all the checkouts from all the collaborators through TFS Sidekicks, but without any luck. I tried to Google it, and also tried other questions here, including this one, which I have replied but does not apply to the same problem...
I am yet to find a proper solution to this problem, but I could find an work-around... That is, convert the deleted branch to a folder! It simply won't show on the hierarchy after that.
In VS Source Control Explorer:
- Click the
Show Delete Branchesicon - Find and
Right-Clickthe deleted branch in the Tree - Select
Branching and Merging>Convert to Folder - Done, the branch is no longer in the hierarchy
