I've noticed that sometimes files that used to be in TFS are no longer there, but they exist on my local drive, and this can cause problems.<br />
<br />
We have quite a large TFS directory structure and just clicking &quot;compare&quot; on the root seems to take forever. Is there some simple way to get a list of files on my local drive that are no longer in TFS, or don't exist in TFS?

How do Identify local orphaned files using TFS?

Version control, also known as revision control or source control, is the management of changes to documents, computer programs, large web sites, and other collections of information. Changes are usually identified by a number or letter code, termed the "revision number," "revision level," or simply "revision." Version control systems (VCS) most commonly run as stand-alone applications, but revision control is also embedded in various types of software such as word processors and spreadsheets, and in various content management systems. Revision control allows for the ability to revert a document to a previous revision. Git, a widely-used VCS, has its own topic; other popular systems include CVS, Subversion, Team Foundation Server (TFS), Visual SourceSafe (VSS) and Perforce.
