title: Team Foundation Server: how to delete local files which are not in version control?
body: <p>I am trying to perform a complicated merge between branches of the same solution. We use Team Foundation Server, but I would prefer compare <em>folders</em> locally with WinMerge instead of relying on TFS directly to tell me what changed. The problem is, there are a lot of files that are not in source control which pollute the WinMerge folder comparison: bin, obj, static code analysis files, remaining projects that were created locally but discarded and never deleted...</p>
  
  <p>I could delete local folders and force get from source control to clean it, but I'm connected to the source control through a slow VPN and it could take a while; or I could also manually delete whichever files I think are duplicate, but that is too empirical to be exhaustive.</p>
  
  <p>So here's my question: is there any tfs command to clean local folders?</p>
