How to: Move or Delete a Document or Folder in Team Explorer

You can move or delete documents and folders in the Documents node of Team Explorer by using the procedures in this Help topic.

If you create a list of work items as a document in one team project and then move or copy that list to another team project, the bindings and references in that list continue to the first team project. For example, if your work item list includes Microsoft Excel (.xls) files or Microsoft Project (.mpp) files that are bound to the first team project, those files will continue to be bound to the first team project even though they appear in the work item list for the second team project.

Contact your Team Foundation Server administrator or your team project administrator to make sure that your user account has the permissions described in the following section.

Required Permissions

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Team Foundation Valid Users security group. If the necessary security permissions are set explicitly, then you must have the View project-level information permission on the team project set to Allow. You must also be a member of the Windows SharePoint Services Contributor group. For more information, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.
