Removing project associated with SourceSafe

I have taken an ASP.NET / C# application off the development site and now work with it on a local laptop.
Previously this was set in SourceSafe - as there were a number of developers working on it.
When the copy was taken offsite - it was still connected in SourceSafe (with the latest copy retrieved prior to it being taken offsite).
Now that this project has been worked on offsite it no longer needs to be associated with SourceSafe.
Everytime I open it on my local laptop I'm presented with messages indicating that the project(s) are associated with SourceSafe.
How can I remove these messages - from what I can see there are Scc / SourceSafe details in the project / web.info files - but can't fathom what elements should be removed / modified to help get rid of these messages.

How can this be done?
Thanks in advance.

I belive you need to look for .vcc files in the solutions folder and the folder where the projects are located. If you delete them, it should remove the message. And change the files from readonly to writeable as well.
 
There is a '.vssscc' file with the same name as the project.
This contains the line:
"SOURCE_CONTROL_SETTINGS_PROVIDER" = "PROJECT"
... which I've tried deleting to no avail - this line, not the file as a whole because this exists for all projects regardless of whether the project originated from SourceSafe or not.

Similarly there is a 'ProjectName.scc' file which contains (when opened in NotePad) lines like:
--------------
SCC = This is a Source Code Control file

[Project.csproj]
SCC_Aux_Path = "\\Sserver\VSS\"
SCC_Project_Name = "$/Project", HNEAAAAA

[Project.sln]
SCC_Aux_Path = "\\Server\VSS\"
SCC_Project_Name = "$/Project", HNEAAAAA
-----------------

I think I've attempted to delete this file also - with no success in removing the messages as seen when opening the Project in Visual Studio.

... and, in the 'Project.csproj' file there's lines at the top like:
<VisualStudioProject>
<CSHARP
ProjectType = "Web"
ProductVersion = "7.10.3077"
SchemaVersion = "2.0"
ProjectGuid = "{85A50002-25AE-4791-9B8D-AA84080F900B}"
SccProjectName = "SAK"
SccLocalPath = "SAK"
SccAuxPath = "SAK"
SccProvider = "SAK"
>
... again I've tried deleting the lines with the 'Scc' prefix in the hope that this would resolve the issue.

Is there a definitive answer to this?
Thanks so far.
Steve
