A disconnected network drive that doesn't go away.

[Frank Rizzo]

My laptop has disconnected network drive that doesn't go away. I open
My Computer. I see this drive (which is probably an SD slot on my
wireless HP printer) and it says disconnected. I try and remove it from
My Computer by going to Tools/Disconnect Network Drive or
right-clicking and selecting Disconnect. But it just won't go away from
the My Computer window. The reason, I am asking is because opening My
Computer is super slow now that this drive appeared.

Does it go away after a reboot?

Nope, it does not.

Hmmph! That's worked for me when one decides not to go away. Try removing it in
the registry after first exporting the key/s. A search on the name of one of
mine gets the below keys and more.
