How to completely remove or disable Version Control integration in Visual Studio 2017

Question

After finding out my build issues had to do with version-control mechanisms locking files and preventing them from being cleaned I determined that I don't want this integration.

How do I completely remove version-control mechanisms from Visual Studio 2017?

Answer 1

If you really want to take this path:

In options, set version control to None:

And uninstall any extensions that act on Version Control.

Alternatively, file a bug on Developer Community.
