Can't Stop Sharing Folder - Doesn't Exist
Windows 10 Pro Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.720)
Quite some time ago, I shared the DVD drive of one machine with my Surface Pro 4. Unfortunately, I was dumb enough to map it as D: drive. Now, every time I insert a USB stick into the Surface, it thinks it's that shared DVD drive. It's mapped location is:
\\Acer-Office\Acer_DVD
I am trying to disconnect that old share (no longer map it) on the Surface, but I get an error that it doesn't exist. I have used an elevated command prompt and ran the following:
net share sharename /delete
Result is "share doesn't exist" (something similar)
I've tried two variations of the sharename just in case it was a syntax error: \\Acer-Office\Acer_DVD, and I've tried simply the Acer_DVD. Same results.
I went into Regedit and located: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares. where there is no reference to the DVD drive.
I mapped the same DVD drive to another drive letter successfully (setting it to S: drive), and am able to disconnect it, but the old drive letter (D:) persists.
Can anyone provide some guidance on how to get rid of that mapped network D: drive?
