Excluded branches showing on TFS branch diagram

Question

I am using TFS2010, through VS2013, and when I go to my master branch, Branching and Merging > View Hierarchy. It shows up some deleted branches. They were excluded by myself long ago, but I can't remove them from diagram.

Here are the hierarchy view:

I already tried to remove all the checkouts from all the collaborators through TFS Sidekicks, but without any luck. I tried to Google it, and also tried other questions here, including this one, which I have replied but does not apply to the same problem...

Answer 1

I am yet to find a proper solution to this problem, but I could find an work-around... That is, convert the deleted branch to a folder! Is simply don't show in the hierarchy after that.

In VS Source Control Explorer:

1. Click the Show Delete Branches icon
2. Find and Right-Click the deleted branch in the Tree
3. Select Branching and Merging > Convert to Folder
4. Done, the branch is no longer in the hierarchy
