Hello I recently figured out that TFS keeps all the deleted principals in database just marking them deleted. My issue is we recently dramatically changed our security policy in TFS so I removed and created lots of groups all over my collection. When I run tf.exe permission /recursive - I get lot's of records although 99% of them really inherit Project's permissions. The problem is all the etries shown are actually referencing deleted groups (prior policy allowed security overrides and users leveraged the feature extensively). How can I destroy the groups I deleted so that the permissions associated with those groups are deleted aswell?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks
