Question How to dismount a drive

[Leon1339]

How to dismount a drive that is still in use. Can't find it being used anywhere.
Disk Management will not allow me to remove.

Full drive?
Shut down windows, disconnect drive.

Otherwise upload a pic from disk management and tell us as much as you can about it.

Should be able to disable it from Device Manager > Disks.
