tf.exe workspaces "Unable to determine the source control server"

I am getting the following message from the build server:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The working folder C:\TFSBuildAgent\_work\8\s is already in use by the workspace ws_8_18;Project Collection Build Service (TEAM FOUNDATION) on computer MYSERVER02.
at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Server.Repository.CreateWorkspace(Workspace workspace)

I have logged onto Server MYSERVER02 and am trying to delete the workspace ws_8_18 by running one of the documented commands for tf.exe workspaces:

tf.exe workspaces remove:*

tf.exe workspaces remove:ws_8_18

tf.exe workspaces remove:ws_8_18 /collection:"http://myserver/projectcollection"

None seem to work and I get the error message:

Unable to determine the source control server.

How do I do it correctly?

The correct syntax is:

tf.exe workspaces /collection:"http://myserver/projectcollection" remove:ws_8_18

i.e ensuring the project collection comes before the remove command.
