How to remove a solution from Visual Studio 2012.

I was attempting to do something I felt was pretty easy today, i.e. I wanted to just delete an entire solution from Visual Studio 2012.  I assumed I'd be able to just highlight the solution, do a right mouse click or maybe just select Delete from the Edit menu --WRONG!!!  I was absolutely flabbergasted/astonished.  Several posts I hit on the internet indicated that's all I should have to do, but for the life of me my specific instance of Visual Studio wouldn't all me to do it that way...  I spent way too much time looking for this answer and never found it.

My "hack" was just to close the solution and then delete it as the os level where all my Visual Studio projects were stored.  This is probably the wrong way to do it, but it's what I did.

Now time to move out and draw fire, huah...


Please disregard all the chaos on my blogs.  I've got three, Thoughts from the Dark Side - iOS Tips and Tricks, Thoughts from the Dark Side - SQL Server Notes and Tips, and Thoughts from the Dark Side - Javascript Notes, and unfortunately I've done a terrible job at keeping them updated, current, etc.  I'm going to be consolidating into a single blog over the next week or two as I'm really doing alot of cool stuff and need to be get better NOW at documenting and sharing.

Moving forward I'll be trying to document notes/issues that I encounter or anything else I think would be cool to share.  Forgive me as I'll be concentrating more on the actual content and not it's presentation.
