memry usb for example

imagine some friend gave you us memory to share you some files.. you just plug it in the usb port and then it installs the files to get ready using it ..

same thing happened when you connect an external CD DVD drive for example ... each time you connect a device it installs files .... where are these files located ??? I plugged more then 20 usb memory flash drive and I want to erase their files from system ....

You plug in a usb with files on it and it opens to read those files. The files stay on the usb unless you
copy/paste or drag/drop into your computer folder. They don't install but are just there unless you do it.
You can delete file/s in the usb just as you would if on your hard drive. It's just having another data
storage device available to you. :cool:

I think the O/P is asking about drivers. If so enter "clear unused usb drivers" no quotes in search box at top of this page.

WOW!! :doh:
When a USB device is plugged into the system, the USB bus driver is notified. The bus driver sends a standard USB request (USB_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR) to the device. With this the device reports its name and type. (bDeviceClass/bDeviceSubClass/bDeviceProtocol).
With this information, Windows creates an device entry in the system. This the Hardware-ID. The system now tries to find either a generic driver which can handle the device (HID/UVC) or a driver which specifically registered itself to support this Hardware-ID.
To register a driver as the handler for a specific device, you have to install the driver into the system, or you must supply Microsoft with one, which they can provide on their servers.

OP says he's happy; I can recommend Uwe Sieber's DriveCleanup for identifying and eradicating traces of old insertions. It's free and has never caused any problems for me. You open a Command Window (cmd.exe) as Administrator and type:

drivecleanup -t

This TESTS to see what will be removed, without the -t it does the cleanup. Removes all devices and registry items that are associated. You need the x64 version for a 64-bit machine.

It has sometimes cleared-up conflicts and other odd USB problems for me. While you're there try UsbTreeView also for very good info about your ports:

Uwe Sieber's Homepage

Look under Drive Tools.
