You cannot do this from Visual Studio, but you can from the command line .
Open the “visual studio command line” in the “Start” menu and go to the local workspace, for example. cd c: \ tfs \ myteamproject \ mybranch
then use the command "tf get $ / myteamproject / mybranch / theFolderIWantToDelete"
This will only lead to that particular folder, then you can go back to VS and delete the folder and check it.
