I don't see a way to delete a Visual Studio .NET Solution except possibly by
using the Windows Explorer. Is there a way to delete Solutions inside the
IDE? The IDE appears to only have a way to delete Projects inside Solutions
but not Solutions themselves. Am I missing something?

AFAIK, you can?t do that from the IDE and if I remember correctly, you can?t
delete projects too, you remove them from the solution but they stay in the
file system. IMHO the tool is to open documents, not to delete them (you
have Windows Explorer for that) and I find this behaviour more intuitive
that other IDEs (Eclipse comes to my mind) that try to simulate the Windows
Explorer in its Solution Explorer window....just my opinion.

I was looking around for this tool. Turns out we were both missing something.
