SYMPTOMS
Using the Undo Checkout command after doing a merge does not remove the merge file FileName.org from the user's local working directory.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Start the Visual SourceSafe (VSS) Explorer.
 * 2) View the History dialog of a file with more than one version.
 * 3) Select a previous version and click Check Out to check the file out to the local working directory.
 * 4) Make changes to the file.
 * 5) In the VSS Explorer select the file again, press SHIFT and then click the Get latest version icon. In the Get  dialog box, click Advance. In the Replace Writable drop-down list box select Merge.
 * 6) Complete the merge and save the file. This creates a file named FileName.org.
 * 7) Execute an Undo Checkout for the file. Be sure to select Delete in the Local Copy drop-down list box in the Undo Checkout window.

RESULT: The Undo Checkout process should remove both the local copy of the file and the FileName.org created in step 6 from the users local working directory.

However, after the Undo Checkout completes, the .org file remains in the local working directory.
