Solved USB drive letter will not go away.

[Kjellemann]

Hi all!
I used to have an external harddrive attached to my computer with the letter (Q) as I set myself.
Now, the harddrive is gone but the drive will not "go away". It is stuck there and I can see it in My Computer alongside the other hard drives. It has, however no size and when clicking on it, I get the message that it is not available.
I have used regedit to solve this but when I restart it is there again. I think I will need some help with this. This is not my native language but I hope you understand.
PS. My internal disk is an SSD.

Hi Kejellemann, Welcome aboard.

Are you sure you had an external drive and you set the drive letter Q to it?

The Q drive is usually associated with Microsoft Office 2010 Click-to-Run suite. Are you sure that you do not have this?

Thanks, Jumanji. The second link was very helpful and now the Lokal drive (Q) is gone
