I am in the process of moving a TFS 2010 installation from one machine

I am in the process of moving a TFS 2010 installation from one machine to another.

I found that is possible remap identities using TFSConfig Identities /change command but I didn’t find a way to remove orphan user identities that I don’t need anymore.

I know that probably I can leave them there, but I am fussy and I like keeping things in order. Do you have any idea how to safely remove unused identities?

    Don’t clean them up. They are inactive so think of them as tombstones. If you get rid of them, you may experience dangling users (in Access Control Entries or File History for example).
