How to delete the project from Team Foundation Server?

In the last months I created many of projects in Team Foundation Server. Now I decided to reorganize all existing projects. That usually means that some of projects should be deleted.

I was disappointed as I was not able to find any “delete” option neither in the Team Explorer nor in the source control.

I thought, may be some linux-developer has joined the TFS team and got the task to implement this functionality (who knows). This means that such functionality could be provided as a part of some command line tool only.

So, I found the great tool tfsdeleteproject.exe at following location:

YourDrive:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE

After looking on provided command line arguments I entered following line to delete the project:

tfsdeleteproject /server:MyTfsServer MyProjectName

This produces following result after few minutes:
