Unless you uninstall the device, you can't get rid of it but you can hide it.
BTW if you select the icon to safely remove the device and it is a card
reader, you won't be able to use it until you reboot or have the computer
search for new hardware.
Its supposed to be there to allow you to safely stop usb devices before
you disconnect them.
Take it with a grain of salt.
I pull my usb drive out without stopping it with this tool. But some
devices suggest you stop them before removal.
1) A USB drive
2) Firewire drive
3) SATA / eSATA drive
These drive can be disconnected while the PC is still running Windows. As a
precaution, you need to tel Windows to complete any / all writes to the drive
and signal it for disconnection.
NOTE: SATA drives are internal drive but they have the possibility of being
disconnected while Windows ix running.
