Folks,
Yes, I know, I did it wrong...
I did a backup to a thumb drive I had inserted in a USB port. After the
backup task completed and without thinking clearly, I simply pulled the
drive out; now the icon that indicates the 4.1 GB Media is mounted
remains. I have tried to unmount the drive that doesn't work and move it
to trash and that did not work either.
If I put the drive back in a new icon pops up and I can unmount it and
that one goes away. The other one just hangs around...
Short of logging out and back in (I am not sure that will work either,
Logging back in should work. The nearest I have seen your situation is
when I connect a camera via the USB port. If the camera powers off by
itself (due to long inactivity), the device icon on the desktop does not
go away. If I replug the camera, a new icon appears. I have not been
able to remove the icon that was left over by any other means than to
relogin.
Regards.
