Question

I accidentally destroyed (i.e. tf destroy) my TFS project’s source control root folder. Is there a way that this folder can be recreated? The new folder button is disabled when I right-click on the Collection root. I don’t want to have to recreate the project because I already have work items in there that I would lose.

Please note that I don’t want to try to recover the files that were destroyed. I understand that those files are gone forever which is what I wanted. I just want to recreate the project’s root source control folder.
