This is a DOS command file to remove the Visual Source Safe files from a solution if you have the debatable honour of using it but wish to retrieve a clean copy of your solution. You will also need to open the solution file itself in a text editor and manually delete the “GlobalSection(SourceCodeControl)” section.<\/p>\n
Note that you should ensure your code is fully backed up before trying this. The file may need changes to support other project types.<\/p>\n
