Removes an item from an existing label in the Team Foundation version control server.

Required Permissions

To use the unlabel command, you must either own the label, or have the Administer labels permission set to Allow. For more information, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.

The user-provided value for the /server option. Example: teamfoundation2.

labelname

Specifies the name of the label to remove from the specified items.

Remarks

The unlabel command of the tf command-line utility removes an item from an existing label in the Team Foundation version control server. For an introduction to labels, see Working with Labels. For information about how to assign a label to a set of files and folders, see Label Command (Team Foundation Version Control).

If you remove all items from a label in the Team Foundation version control server, that label is deleted. You can also delete a label using the command tf label /delete. To learn more about the existing labels in the system, see Labels Command.

For more information on how to find the tf command-line utility, see Tf Command-Line Utility Commands.
