I'm trying codeplex and polluted it with fake changesets using subversion. I'd like to delete them now. Is it possible ?
Here's information on removing a changeset on CodePlex: http://codeplex.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Removing%20a%20changeset%20from%20source%20control
It is not currently possible but you could contact the team...

I'm trying to rename a shelveset. The only way I can think of to do it is:
Unshelve it (uncheck Preserve shelveset on the server)
Gather all the changes into Included Changes (and exclude everything that wasn't part of that shelveset).
Re-shelve it with a different name
Is there an easier way?
(we are using TFS Version 15.117.26714.0)
What is the easiest way to rename a shelveset in TFS?
Personally think the method you think is the simplest or most direct.
Since TFS teams Suggested on their old user voice forum(Closed now):
Visual Studio Team (Product Team, Microsoft) responded · March 11,
2015 Thanks for the suggestion! We’re currently in the planning
process for enabling an iterative shelveset experience. We’ll update
this item when we have more details.
But so far, we do not have a very easiest way to rename a shelveset in TFS. And we do not have a "update shelveset" API in place:
Shelvesets
Do not have option to rename the name by the Shelve Command.
You could check this thread for some more details.
So, I agree with your idea is the easiest and most straightforward, and it is also the method I have used.
I made several terrible changesets, is it possible to join/group them to one changeset ? Because I would like to keep the meaningful and readable commit history.
Unfortunately, this is not support in TFVC. And there had been a feature request in uservocie called TFS to merge multiple, non-continuous changesets which has been declined by the PM of TFS.
Thanks for the feedback on this idea. We have reviewed this feedback
and determined that we will not be able to complete this
suggestion in the foreseeable future.

For your situation, you can either edit the comment just like AakashM suggested or try to use Visual Studio add-on TFS Productivity Tools.
Moreover, about how to edit the changeset comment, please refer the answer in this question: Edit changeset comment after updates have been checked in to TFS
Assuming you mean like a git "squash", I'm afraid not.
I am trying to create a build in Jenkins, from certain changesets made in TFS.
I want to be able to decide which changesets should go in the build and which should be excluded.
I saw an earlier question How do you build from a specific TFS 2008 Changeset in Jenkins? which provided the answer using labels. Haven't tried it yet. But the question is 3 yrs old and I wanted to know if anyone has found an answer.
Any help would be appreciated. If it is not possible in Jenkins, please suggest any other tool that provides such functionality.
Atlassian Bamboo with TFS Repository Plugin
provides a solution for you :)

BTW I've been looking around the tfs-plugin and although the docs doesn't mention "specific checkout by changeSet" I think there is a good chance that setting the VERSION_SPEC variable to change-set value, might do the trick for you.
is there a (simple) way to move a single TeamProject from one collection to another (in one server) in TFS 2010? Including source code, work items, documents, project site...
No not really simple, you can split a collection and creata a new collection with the team projects you move in it, but you cannot out-of-the-box merge a team project into an existing collection.
What you can do is to use the TFS integration platform http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/eb77e739-c98c-4e36-9ead-fa115b27fefe or http://tfsintegration.codeplex.com to migrate your team project over to the new collection. This is however a DataMigration that doesnt keep or even move all data, but it will move Source Code & Workitems. Moving a team project site (if needed) , including documents can be done by using the STSADM Export and Import commands, please refer to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288191%28v=office.12%29.aspx for more info about moving SharePoint sites
No there isn't.
But it is a requested feature: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/2037613-make-it-possible-to-move-a-team-project-between-te
It is not easy, but it is doable: Split a Team Project Collection
Yes there is a feature request, but I don't think it will be shipped in the box, so the other option to use TFS Integration Platform
There is a way to move from one collection to another using git-tfs and git-tf tools, it is a kind of workaround, but works if this is really required to be done.
This is posted step-by-step here:

In VS 2013 - map both collections to some folders, and then "Move" command will be available:
Is it possible to rename a TFS2010 team project?
The project in question is based on the CMMI 5.0 team project template, but it has been modified with several custom modifications (new WITs and link types).
For a rename to be feasible, all history must be maintained.
In all: No, it can't be done.
Your only shot is to create a new Team Project named as you 'd like and then move everything to it. This involves serious work done by hand.
After that, you can't erase your old TeamProject - you will loose the history. You can lock it and make it unavailable to everybody.
After having done this a few times we think about the names of our Team Projects a lot. If at some point their name is(gets) wrong, I 'd say we 'll live with the mismatch.
Unfortunately, team projects in TFS are not able to be renamed in TFS 2005, TFS 2008, or TFS 2010. It's currently the #1 feature on the Visual Studio User Voice site for TFS. If this is something that's important, I'd recommend putting some votes on that feature: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/2037605-rename-project-in-tfs
As far as I know you can create a new TeamProject and move your sources while maintaining history. Not sure if work items are preserved even when you delete/destroy the original TeamProject though.
As per the other comments "No, you can't", when we do it here we create a new project and then migrate source and work items over using the TFS Integration Platform, then delete the original project
