title: Excluding $tf folder in TFS 2015 - Copy and Publish Build Artifact
body: <p>I'm trying to exclude $tf folder as part of artifact publishing using "Copy and Publish Artifacts" option as shown in the picture. But it always includes $tf folder and publishes all the files under this folder. </p>
  
  <p>I tried this option, but no luck.

  <p>"Copy files" is not an option for publishing artifacts, so it would be better if there is any option to exclude the folder.
