Hello madmax, :)
To hide empty removable drives, see if the tutorial below may work best instead.

You can turn those unused drives off by disabling them in Windows Device Manager. Click Computer Management -> Device Manager. Then under Disk drives, right click on the drives you no longer wish to see in Explorer and select "Disable". The will remove them from the Explorer window. You can always go back and re-enable them later.
Here I have 4 USB drive slots for various card readers provided by HP that I never use so I disabled them.
madmax,
I'm not sure why they're not being hidden for you.
If you like, you could also use the tutorial below to remove them from the navigation pane if duplicated other than under "This PC".

No idea why this happens... and for me it's only on my main desktop, my laptop was also upgraded to Win 10 and shows no problems, and a new desktop with Win 10 by default I got for my folks has no issues either.
Guess I'll learn to live with it. thanks!
In Win 7 or 10 open the "folder options" (Win 7) or "file Explorer options" (Win 10) and go to the view tab and check under "Hidden folders and files" the option to "don't show hidden files, folders or drives" and it'll get rid of the ghost preview too...this will also hide folders and files too that you've applied this too but is the only way I know of to also hide the memory card reader drives (I have a 7-card reader) and seeing the icons even "hidden" only ghosted them to about 50% opacity. This option will hide them entirely....i this what you meant?
see pic on when to check.....
without that ticked I see this and it drives me nuts....
After hidden the way I said to this is what I see....yay!!!
