Removing Projects or Solutions

See Also

When you remove items from your solution, you may first want to remove them from source control. You can remove items from source control — for example, the solution file (.sln) — but you cannot remove the entire solution. This is also true for projects. You can remove the particular project file (for example, a Java project file is .vjp) or a Cabinet packaging project file (.pkp) but not the entire Java or Cabinet project.

Individual items in Web projects created in Visual InterDev cannot be removed from source control. You can select Disconnect Web Project to remove all your items at one time. See your Visual InterDev documentation for more details.

For more details on how to remove source control projects in the source control database, see your source control provider's documentation.
