How to Remove Visual Source Safe 6.0d from your .net projects.

After doing this a few times I thought I'd write down the process:

Goto the folder containing the solution files and delete the following:

mssccprj.scc
MyProject.vssscc
vssser.scc

Open the MyProject.sln in your text editor and remove the following section:

GlobalSection(SourceCodeControl) = preSolution
...
EndGlobalSection

Goto the folder(s) containing the project files and delete the following:

MyProject.vbproj.vspscc
mssccprj.scc
vssver.scc

Open the *.proj file(s) and remove the following:

SccProjectName = "SAK"
SccLocalPath = "SAK"
SccAuxPath = "SAK"
SccProvider = "SAK"

Now open up your solution and you should be Source Control free.
