P4V Clear the drop-down menu in the tree view for workspaces

Question

In P4V (Perforce visual client) there is a tree view, where you can browse your files. In the top of that view, there is a dropdown menu, where you can select the workspace you want to browse through.

I have just deleted a whole bunch of old workspaces, but they still show up in the drop-down menu. I cannot find any place to get rid of them.

I will be happy to know how to either:

1. remove specific workspaces from the drop-down, or
2. remove all workspaces from the drop-down

Answer 1

I used P4V Rev. Perforce Visual Client/MACOSX106X86_64/2014.1/827578 and had 10 workspaces listed in the drop down. As I deleted them they were removed from the drop-down. What version of P4V are you using?

Answer 2

I am using P4V (on Windows 7), dated 2013 March 20 and versioned:

Rev. Perforce Visual Client/NTX64/2013.1/611291

My problem was somewhat different than that described in the question. A number of my old workspaces were showing up in the P4V workspace drop-down menu, even though these old workspaces no longer existed on the server. (I did not delete those workspaces; I'm guessing they were deleted by an admin.)

In my case, I found a way to remove these orphaned names from the workspace drop-down menu. Here's what I did: For each workspace name in the drop-down menu I wanted to remove, I:

1. Recreated a workspace with the identical name. (I found that the root folder that I assigned to the workspace did not matter.)
2. Immediately deleted the workspace.
3. This resulted in the workspace name being automatically removed from the workspace drop-down menu.
