问题
When creating a new build in Team Foundation Server, I get the following error when attempting to run the new build:
The path C:\\Build\\ProductReleases\\FullBuildv5.4.2x\\Sources is already mapped to workspace BuildServer_23.
I am unable to see a workspace by that name in the workspaces dialog.
回答1:
Use the command line utility TF - Team Foundation Version Control Tool (tf).
You can get a list of all workspaces by bringing up a Visual Studio Command Prompt then changing to your workspace folder and issuing the following commands:
C:\YourWorkspaceFolder>tf workspaces /owner:*
You should see your problem workspace in the list as well as it's owner.
You can delete the workspace with the following command:
C:\YourWorkspaceFolder>tf workspace /delete /server:BUILDSERVER WORKSPACENAME;OWNERNAME

Just delete the contents of the following folder(s):
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\3.0\Cache
Where UserName is actual or current user, and 3.0 is the version number.

I received this error, which was caused by having two build definitions that pointed to the same source. The issue was that I used a static build directory in the Build Agent.
This forum post describes my issue and resolution exactly: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsbuild/thread/60a4138a-9b28-4c46-bdf4-f9775ce43c3e/

We had the same problem but deleting the workspace's from the TFS server did not work. (I should mention that I grabbed my colleagues VM that was already set up with his credentials.)
For me this worked: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/buckh/archive/2006/09/12/path-is-already-mapped-in-workspace.aspx
I just went into the : ...\Local Settings\Application Data\ made a search for VersionControl.config, opened up the folder that contained this file and deleted all of it's contents.
Previous to that I tried manually editing the file but it continued with the same error message.
I hope this helps.

I had a similar issue and to remove the workspace that was causing me a problem, I logged into another machine with TFS client installed and performed the following:
- On the File menu, point to Source Control, Advanced, and then click Workspaces....
- In the Manage Workspaces dialog box, tick the Show remote packages checkbox.
- Under the Name column, select the workspace that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
- In the Confirmation dialog box, click OK.

For some reason I was having trouble deleting the workspace from the command-line utility. Luckily I found Team Foundation Sidekicks 2010 (from this post) which is free and provides a GUI for viewing and deleting TFS workspaces, and many more useful TFS features.
回答7:
I had a similar problem with Visual Studio 2010 complaining about an already-mapped-workspace, but instead of deleting the entire workspace, I used the following from the Visual Studio Command Prompt: "tf workspace PROBLEM_WORKSPACE_NAME". This brought up an "Edit Workspace" dialog. From there I was able to remove the path in question from the "Working Folders" list, which got rid of the error.
回答8:
Here is what I did (well what I do):
Using TFS Sidekicks clear out the user and server filters so they are blank. This will let you get all workspaces.
Check the build error for the workspace name. In the OPs case it is BuildServer_23. It is different in my environment but basically just match up the error name with the one in the tfs sidekick list.
Click the red x to delete the workspace.
Viola!

the rest was fairly easy.
Simply go to this folder: C:\Users{UserName}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\4\Cache and delete all that's in the folder.

I was getting an exception telling me that the file was already mapped in another workspace: "The path {File Path} is already mapped in workspace {Workspace Name}."
This workspace was deleted beofre. With the help of friend of mine I found out that TFS save workspace info under the user local settings dir. We found a file named:
VersionControl.config under {User Documents and Settings dir}\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Team Foundation\1.0\Cache. This file contains all the local mapping of TFS. Probably when you use the Map method and don't use: public void DeleteMapping(WorkingFolder mapping); before deleting the workspace the mapping information is not removed from this file which is used by TFS to check if you've alreay mapped a specific path.
To resolve this problem delete all the keys from the config file. Don't delete the file because you'll get it again from the server cache.
回答11:
If you don't have permissions on the server to delete other people's workspaces, you can just change the name of the build definition. TFS will create a new workspace and map it to "C:\Build\ProductReleases\new build name here\Sources".
回答12:
If applicable, you can also clone the build definition and change its name. This workded for me.
回答13:
I tried all the following solutions such as :
- Use sidekicks to delete WS.
- Use tf commands to delete remote server workspaces.
- Delete the TFS cache folder.
The following worked for me:
tf workspaces /remove:*
回答14:
I changed
Build Definition -> Workspace -> Build Agent Folder
from
c:\some\path
to
$(SourceDir)
and it fixed the issue.

While trying to 'Get latest version' of a project which I had previously mapped to a local directory and then deleted, I saw this same error message. First I tried the SideKick tool and then the Visual Studio 2010 command prompt, both of which told me I had no workspaces mapped.
Next I searched for 'VersionControl.config' within c:/users/myuser/appdata, and deleted the 4 references it found.
I re-opened Visual Studio and I was able to re-map the project, no more error!
回答16:
Simplest way to do this is to go to your AppData and delete the TFS cache (depending on the version 3.0 or 4.0)
C:\Users{UserName}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\3.0\Cache or C:\Users{UserName}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\4.0\Cache

TDN's solution worked for me when I was having the same issue. The Build server created workspaces under my account. Checking this box allowed me to see and delete them.
回答18:
I got same issue in Visual Studio 2017 and TFS 2017. DefaultCollection must be mapped first to you local path. Somehow this step was skipped and I got only MyFirstProject mapped.
All you need to do is:
- 1. Go to your TFS web page and remove the project from the server.
- 2. Remove the project from your local "Worksapces"
- 3. Go to "Manage Connections" which will refresh your Home page in TeamExplorer.
- 4. You will get Configuration page which will allow you to setup root path to your DefaultCollection.
- 5. You should get message that it been done successfully. Now you can create your project.
It's important to map root of your collection to your workspace first and then map a new project.

My issue was related to using multiple accounts. This is how I was able to switch accounts.
Open Team Explorer
From the big drop down menu near the top of the pane...
Navigate to: Projects and my Teams>Manage Connections
Navigate to: Manage Connections>Connect to Team Project
Use the "Switch User" link to switch accounts.
Now the workspace names will match the chosen account.
回答20:
Simply delete the workspace:
workspace /delete "the-workspace-name"
回答21:
I had this issue with this with Azure DevOps automated builds in an on-prem TFS build agent. Removing the workspace using TFS Sidekicks did not work. And tf.exe could not even find the workspace to delete it.
This solution should work for TFS 2017, TFS 2018, Azure DevOps, and possibly other versions:
- Take note of the workspace GUID in the error message.
- On the machine where the build is taking place, navigate to: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\ (where %USERPROFILE% belongs to the user that triggered the build).
- Search for and remove all instances of the workspace GUID under that directory. There will likely be a folder in a 'cache' directory, as well as entries in 'LocationServerMap.xml' and 'LocalItemExclusions.config'. Remove them all.
That worked in my circumstance.
