tfs
I want to add my project from Visual Studio 2012 to my TFS server, but it says the path is already mapped for workspace pc;administrator (this is a local workspace).
I have tried the command tool tf but it says that there are no workspaces, so I can't delete the workspace that is conflicting.
I'm running Windows 8 with Visual Studio 2012. TFS is on a windows server 2012.
Use the command line utility TF - Team Foundation Version Control Tool (tf).
You can get a list of all workspaces by bringing up a Visual Studio Command Prompt then changing to your workspace folder and issuing the following commands:
C:\YourWorkspaceFolder>tf workspaces /owner:*
You should see your problem workspace in the list as well as it's owner.
You can delete the workspace with the following command:
C:\YourWorkspaceFolder>tf workspace /delete /server:BUILDSERVER WORKSPACENAME;OWNERNAME
When I came accross this issue none of the provided answers solved this problem or if it did I didn't like recreating the project. The way I ended up solving the issue:
I guess the "Remember me" cookie timed out but gave me a generic response for trying to push or pull any code.

The problem is that the current project location, the folder on your physical machine, is mapped to a different TFS server. To add it to source control you need to move it to a physical location not associated with a TFS server.
Edit To remove the offending workspace:
1) Use the "Team" menu to connect to the TFS Server that you do NOT want to be mapped to
2) Use ctrl+q --> workspaces to access the workspaces menu
3) Remove the workspace
4) Change to the TFS Server you WANT to be mapped to using the "Team" menu again
5) ctrl+q --> workspaces
6) Add a new workspace
