I have a virtual disk I need to get rid of...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove/delete this virtual drive? See Disk 3 in the results below:

Code:

    Disk 0 : SSD. It has 4 partition(s). Model: Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TB
    Disk 1 : SSD. It has 4 partition(s). Model: Samsung SSD 980 1TB 
    Disk 2 : SSD. It has 2 partition(s). Model: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB
    Disk 3 : SSD. Error: It is not valid. Model: Backed Virtual Msft Virtual Disk

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Good morning, zbook.

I read the webpage you linked for me, but I don't or didn't have any USB drive connected to my laptop at the time of creating those results from the batch file you previously provided.

Please run diskpar info > post a share link using one drive, drop box, or google drive:

So, I'm not sure what to do with all the info. you provided.

I am attaching a screenshot of the Computer Management window with Disk Management displayed:

Hi F22 Simpilot,

I didn't really make a virtual disk. It comes up in the results of running a batch file (see above response to zbook).

Hi zbook,

How do I post a link which does not require signing in? I posted a Dropbox link. Doesn't that work?

Kind regards,

Hello everyone,

I just figured out what this virtual drive is all about... I had Sandbox active in Program & Features. See before and after shots of Device Manager:

Login - Dropbox



Login - Dropbox

Code:

    Disk 0 : SSD. It has 4 partition(s). Model: Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TB
    Disk 1 : SSD. It has 4 partition(s). Model: Samsung SSD 980 1TB 
    Disk 2 : SSD. It has 2 partition(s). Model: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB

    The script has found the above 3 storage device(s) in total.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards,

tecknot

Hi zbook.

I am having a bit of difficulty with my e-mail account I signed-in to Dropbox. Once I sort it out I will try to make the links visible without the need to sign-in.

Kind regards,
