// Before you begin compiling, follow the steps below:
// ------------------------
// 1. Create a new project:
//     dotnet new console -n VssDeletePOC
//
// 2. Navigate to that directory:
//     cd VssDeletePOC
//
// 3. Add the dependency:
//     dotnet add package AlphaVSS
// -- If you get an error for no versions available for package AlphaVSS, run this:
// dotnet nuget add source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -n nuget.org
//
// 4. Run the program:
//     dotnet run
