Undeleting Source Control Files—Team Foundation Server

If you have a file marked as "Deleted" but then want to add it to source control, you can undelete the file, which then allows you to do this. You might encounter this situation if you rename a file and then create a new file with that name, or if you rename a file to the name of a previously deleted file.

ClosedNote

Note: You can only undelete files from Microsoft Team Foundation Server, Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, and Perforce. When you delete files from other source control providers, they are removed from the source control repository.
