Windows 7: Cannot delete a Public folder

Cannot delete a Public folder

I installed a Western Digital MyBook Duo NAS storage drive. When I was having some problems I reinstalled the software and have ended up with two public drives referencing the MyBook, and they are :-
Public(\\MyBookLiveDuo) (X)
Public(\\MyBookLiveDuo) (Z)

There is no option to delete either of the drives if I right click on the drive in Windows Explorer, just a Disconnect option. I have not been able to work out how to delete one of them and retain the other.

Can anyone suggest how I might be able to delete one of these pointers to my MyBook?

Disconnect Network Drive. It is in the Tools Menu.

And if you have a problem in the future do NOT run the WD software again. Just use Win Explorer to MAP Network Drives.

Thanks for the suggestion, but where is the Tools menu?

And I have no intention of reinstalling the WD software.

PS, I found an option in xplorer2 to disconnect the X drive. It is so much better than Windows Explorer, and I wish that I had thought to try it first.
