Unbinding source for .NET project

You want to rebind a project that was previously bound to either a network or cloud source that no longer exists or you do not have access to the cloud account.  You try changing the current source control but the Microsoft Cloud login screen keeps appearing and you cannot select a new source.

The error that you get is

The Path <local path> is already mapped in workspace <machine name [old tfs server]>

... and you 'll find more on the NET Development Menu

Try this... 

1. Remove all the references to source control in your .NET solution and project files. (.vssscc)

2. Delete TFS cache directories - C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation (2.0, 3.0 and 4.0)

I came across a situation today that the above didn't fix... but I found a new fix. Open the Visual Studio Command window, and type:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0>tf workspace /delete /server:http://tfs.mysite.com:8080/tfs/defaultcollection devshed22\Warren

Note that 'Devshed22\Warren' was from the error window.
