Deleting WorkItems in TFS

If you ever need to delete (destroy) workitems in TFS, use the witadmin utility to do so:

witadmin destroywi /collection:http://myserver:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection /id:123,444,555

As you can see, you can destroy multiple work items at a time.  There’s no turning back once you delete a workitem, so make sure that you really wanted to get rid of it.
