Removing Mapped Drives Win 7

zom247 · 16 Nov 2010 at 15:22

I had 3 drives mapped from my server which has gone kaput and I've replaced it with a NAS. The mapped drives are still showing up in explorer so how can I get rid of them? I've tried to right-click & disconnect but that doesn't work.

Command Prompt

net use * /delete

That's exactly what I was going to suggest Casdawer, good old command prompt!

Thanks guys but I'd already used that command and it's still showing in explorer. However, I haven't restarted my pc cos I'm re-encoding my holiday vids so once that's finished I'll restart and see if they've gone.

Have you elevated the command prompt first?

Sometimes it can take a restart [or restart of Explorer] for Windows to catch on.

I didnt know this one.

I have been ok so far as you can change the locations and so when I went from a shared folder on my server to a NAS I simply changed over, but for removing it...

I will have a play in a bit.

So, thanks for that.
