Cleaning up device enumeration

Hello,

I recently had to manipulate a lot my Bluetooth antenna installation due to several tests...
The problem is, some third-party softwares I tested didn't managed to remove properly the dongle enumeration in my Windows registry.

When I reintalled the original pilots, my connection had an ugly "#2" stuck in the name... I went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\BTH and I could see there was 2 enumerations!

Then, I went to the System/Devices entries and I manually deleted anything related to Bluetooth, and when I reconnected my antenna, the network switched to... "#3"!

Aaarghh!!
Could you help me cleaning up that mess?

Open a command prompt window and enter these commands:

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
devmgmt.msc

Device Manager will open. Select View -> Show hidden devices from the menu.

All your previously connected but no longer present devices will be shown grayed/dimmed. Uninstall the previous ones.
