I setup successfully a remote cloud storage as WebDav network drive.

In WinExplorer it appears WITHOUT a drive letter !!!) as

webdav.mediencenter.t-online.de

I can read and write from that drive. Now I want to disconnect/remove that drive from WinExplorer.
The "usual" method is to go to WinExplorer menu

Tools--->Disconnect network drive

After click a dialog pops up asking me which network drive to disconnect.
BUT there is no drive letter or other entry listed. The selection box is empty!

So I cannot mark and disconnect.

I tried as well the cmdline command:

net use webdav.mediencenter.t-online.de /delete

but get as answer:

"The network connection could not be found."

So how else do I disconnect a network drive WITHOUT assigned drive letter?

To disconnect a network drive in Windows Explorer when the drive doesn't have a drive letter assigned, you can use the following steps:
  1. Disconnect Network Drive via Command Prompt:
    • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
    • Use the net use * /delete command to disconnect all network drives.
    If that doesn't work, you can try a specific command to disconnect the WebDAV network drive:
    Code: 
     net use \\webdav.mediencenter.t-online.de /delete
    This command specifically targets the WebDAV network drive without a drive letter. Ensure you run Command Prompt as an administrator to execute this command successfully. []Clearing Credentials:
    • Sometimes, Windows might remember the connection...

    • Sometimes, Windows might remember the connection credentials causing the issue. You can try clearing the credentials associated with the WebDAV connection.
    • Go to "Control Panel" > "User Accounts" > "Manage Windows Credentials" and remove any credentials related to the WebDAV server.
    [    ]Use PowerShell:
    • Open PowerShell as an administrator.
    • Run the following command to disconnect the WebDAV drive:
      Code: 
      bash Remove-SmbMapping -RemotePath '\\webdav.mediencenter.t-online.de'
      By following these steps, you should be able to disconnect the WebDAV network drive successfully, even without an assigned drive letter.
