Every time I boot up my Win 11 Home and go to Explorer -> This PC I have OS (C:) USB Drive (D:) and two external HDDs that I have plugged into the USB dock.
I do not have a USB drive plugged in! Also the D: drive Properties shows type is USB drive, File system is Unknown, space is 0 bytes. There is no actual device!!!
How do I get rid of it in Explorer?
If I go to Disk Management, I have disk 0, disk 1, disk2 and disk 3 Removable (D:) No Media
Disk 0-2 are all partitioned and healthy.
In Disk Management, Disk 3 I can right click and change the drive letter if I want. For now it is D: but I can delete the drive letter if I want.
It says it is a Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device. But there is no physical device connected to the laptop.
In Device Manager, I have selected "show hidden devices" and uninstalled grayed out devices in USB controllers and USB devices, and rebooted, but that didn't help either.
I just want a clean system. Any ideas what more I can do?
