Visual Studio workspace does not exist (tf14061)

If you ever get the error from Visual Studio that: “Visual Studio workspace does not exist (Error tf14061)”.

Make sure to try all the steps in this article: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e8fb58cf-35fb-4653-8d00-93f51e7cda31/troubleshooting-connections-from-internet-explorer-visual-studio-to-visual-studio-online?forum=TFService

Note that you may need to update the Command line script to add the following:

  • IF EXIST “%AppDataTF%\6.0\Cache” MOVE “%AppDataTF%\6.0\Cache” “%AppDataTF%\6.0\Cache.OLD”
  • IF EXIST “%AppDataVS%\14.0\Team Explorer” MOVE “%AppDataVS%\14.0\Team Explorer” “%AppDataVS%\14.0\Team Explorer.OLD”

I was getting this error and thought my VS workspace was corrupt, but after trying all other options I came across this and it worked for me! Which saved me having to recreate the workspace and check out many projects again, for which I was very grateful. I didn’t find the article searching on the problem though, so thought posting about it might help someone else.
