I tried to use TFSDeleteProject command to remove the project from the TFS server,
tfsdeleteproject /server:myserver myprojectname
but at the end of the process there is this error message
Deleting from Build …

Deleting from Work Item Tracking …

Deleting SharePoint site …
Could not connect to ‘http://TFS08:17012/_vti_adm/admin.asmx’
The request failed with the error message:
–

<h2>Object moved to <a href="http://tfs08:17012/_layouts/1033/error.aspx?ErrorTe
xt=Request%20timed%20out%2E">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
Then I tried to repeat the command again with the /force option (tfsdeleteproject /force /server:myserver myprojectname), I still get the error

But actually what happened is everything within TFS have been safely removed except the SharePoint, so you need to go into SQL Server Management Studio and connect to WSS_Config database
Select Id From Sitemap Where Path = ‘/Sites/myprojectname’
Grab the Id and execute this SQL
exec dbo.proc_dropSiteMap @Id=%Id%
After that you still need to clean up your WSS_Content database by executing this
exec proc_DeleteSite %Id%
But do note you might have nothing to delete in the WSS_Content
