Posted on by Dhanush R

Hi
Recently one of team mate left the team and forgot to log off her account in VsCode, apparently I don't have access to her account credentials.
Currently I am facing an issue while mapping my account to the Vs code. I will attach the error message below.

The working folder K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory is already in use by the workspace dev230c509166-1_1;Person Name on computer dev230c509166-1.

Could someone please help me with this issue?. I want to remove her credentials and map it my credentials .

Thank you.

use visual studio command prompt and execute:

TF workspace /delete MACHINE_NAME;USER_ACCOUNT /collection:"https://TFS_PROJECT_URL.visualstudio.com"

this way you'll delete the user mapping.

You can also use this command:

TF workspaces /computer:* /owner:* /collection:"https://TFS_PROJECT_URL.visualstudio.com"

to query all the users workspaces, so you can ensure there are no other workspaces configured for that user
