The working folder C:\Users\Adminab12363\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects is already in use by the workspace dev669312-1;oldaccount@xyz.com on computer dev669312-1.

Hi Guys,

I got the below error while I was trying to create a new workspace  for my new account.

The working folder C:\Users\Adminab12363\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects is already in use by the workspace dev669312-1;oldaccount@xyz.com on computer dev669312-1.


Reason: Multiple workspaces bounded.  

Solution: In my case I deleted my old account workspace by using command prompt.

-> Go to  C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE
open command prompt as an admin.




Follow the syntax
tf workspace /delete "WORKSPACENAME;PREVIOUSUSERACCOUNT”


copy and paste in the command prompt and hit enter, then select "Y".

tf workspace /delete "SBIN001-3;rahulax@xyz.com"

  1. Make sure to unmap or delete the existing workspace before setting up a new one to avoid conflicts. I had a similar issue when I tried to use rookie sideloader on a previously mapped folder.
