removable volumes persist, cannot remove them

Post by jkl »

For some reason, even after uninstalling Everything, nuking %appdata%/everything, and rebuilding its index by force, Everything insists on listing three removable volumes, S:, T: and U: in Tools > Options > NTFS. How do I remove them?

Edited to clarify: Originally I stated that these drives no longer existed. I was confusing the drive letters with an older configuration of external USB drives. These letters are now assigned to removable volumes within my HP desktop. How the Windows partition manager even sees these is beyond my purview, especially since the motherboard has no more slots for internal drives. Must be some quirky HP thing that I will need to accept. Anyway, I assigned STU because I was tired of how these letters would change from time to time that I would notice when changing the letter of an external.

On some computers, "multimedia" card readers are identified as drives (one drive letter assigned to each slot in the reader).

Got an HP here like that; F, H, I, J.
They do show up under NTFS - for whatever reason.
Exclude them from NTFS indexing.
