Title Body

I am new to TFS. I checked out a folder from TFS using Visual Studio and then deleted bunch of files/added couple of files within that folder using windows explorer (actually I didn't do it, but that folder has third party libraries and I used an installer which made all these changes). Now if I go to Visual Studio and try to check in that folder, I am getting this error: Check in: Operation not performed Could not find file : /ThirdPartyFolder/aDeletedFile.aspx I tried to follow the solution proposed in this post, but that didn't work out: http://www.woodwardweb.com/tfs_top_tip/tfs_top_tip_11.html When I do 'Get Specific Version' and specified 'change set 1', it doesn't show the deleted files in red as it does in the screenshot of that blog post. Also, when I click OK, it shows the Pending Changes-Conflicts window with all the files that got deleted. Even though I selected "Keep Local Version", when I try to check in, I am getting the same error again. Is there a way in TFS to take what is in my local version and over write what is in the server with my local version files? I have done similar operations using Subversion, and this has never been a problem. Hopefully someone will let me know how to achieve this in TFS.
