          mssccprj.scc
          MyProject.vssscc
          vssver.scc

2 - Open MyProject.sln in your favorite text editor and remove the following section:
          GlobalSection(SourceCodeControl) = preSolution
                     ...
          EndGlobalSection

3 - Go to the folder containing the project files and delete the following:
          MyProject.vbproj.vspscc
          mssccprj.scc
          vssver.scc

4 - Open MyProject.vbproj in your text editor and remove the following lines:
          SccProjectName = "SAK"
          SccLocalPath = "SAK"
          SccAuxPath = "SAK"
