Windows 7 Disconnect network drive WITHOUT assigned drive letter?

[pstein]

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:

• 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:

   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 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:

  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.
