did you solve this?

check all computers using that tfs. make sure they do not have that workspace even if its not used. you may have cleared the workspace from tfs but not from one or more computers using it.

Hi used this command tf workspace /delete /server:https://[yours].visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection [workspacename];[username] Now when i try to delete the local workspace folder it show the same message Already in Use. Also tried the map that folder but same message showed.

ok thanks. I will try this

the workspace is still active on another machine i.e that user account has same workspace on multiple computers its already in use. you need to remove it from old /other machine or delete it from tfs completely (there is a command line option for this). but back up your code before you play with tfs workspaces.
