📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses how to disconnect a WebDAV network drive in Windows that appears without a drive letter. The original poster is unable to disconnect the drive using the standard "Disconnect network drive" option or the basic "net use" command, as no drive letter is assigned. A helpful response suggests using Command Prompt or PowerShell with specific commands targeting the WebDAV server, and also recommends clearing stored credentials to fully remove the connection.

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:
    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 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.
