[p4] Screwed up Workspace, fixed, avoid syncing?

Posted on behalf of forum user 'Domenic'.

You don't mention which version of P4V you're running, but in the last
few versions of the 2017.3 release they've had a right-click option for
"clean..." (near the bottom).

There is a good reference at   
https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/cmdref/index.html#CmdRef/p4_clean.html#p4_clean%3FTocPath%3DCommands%2520-%2520alphabetical%2520list%7Cp4%2520clean%7C_____0
but here are some highlights:




Restore workspace files to match the state of corresponding depot files.  


The  p4 clean  command takes the following actions when finding inconsistencies
between files in a user’s workspace and corresponding depot files:

  
-  Files present in the workspace, but missing from the depot are deleted from
  the workspace.
    
    
  
-  Files present in the depot, but missing from your workspace. The version of
  the files that have been synced from the depot are added to your workspace.
    
    
  
-  Files modified in your workspace that have not been checked in are restored
  to the last version synced from the depot.

If you don't have a recent version of P4V you could do "reconcile
offline work" then review what it wants to add / delete and revert as
needed.
