Hi.
We have a problem with our VSS database, some time ago, out of
nowehre, two shares of our main project appeared in its subfolders.
Nobody created the shares (only 3 developers work on this project and
none of them, me notwithstanding, even knew about what sharing in VSS
is before we started to investigate mysterious duplicate projects), it
looks like they just appeared by themselves.

I have two questions:
1) Wtf?
2) How do I delete a share without damaging the root project?

How often do you run Analyze?
Do so immediately.
Then backup (full, no incremental), and then remove the share. Unless I'm
misunderstanding something there shouldn't be any "damage" (ie, the 'share'
just goes back to the original.) You may need to do a little
reorganization/repair - but nothing should be lost or damaged.

As for wtf? How much control do you have on your source? Somebody likely
clicked/dragged something. <g>
