So I have been messing around creating and deleting (read destroying via TfsDeleteProject) in preparation for something I have to do in production soon.

When I try to recreate the sample team project with the same name I have no problem but when I try to re-create the same structure (i.e. creating the Main folder) I get the error in the title of this post: 

"The item $/MyTeamProject/Main already exists."

I have tried deleting the team project, clearing my local tfs cache and reopening VS but each time when I try to create the Main folder I get the error.

So something is not getting deleted. Any ideas?

EDIT: I wanted to point out as well that I have removed the physical folders on my local system as well.

    Not exactly intuitive because I clearedmy local tfs cache (multiple times) BUT…

    After my latest repeat of the steps above (definition of insanity) I decided to do a Get Latest on the team project.

    I was then able to re-create the Main folder.
