Not able to delete a device from "Devices and Drivers"

[Infi_TheTechie]

I connected to a computer a long time back. I dont remember how I did it but that device has been stuck on my computer since then.

(The device highlighted in the picture is the problem)

Any help is much appreciated!

Its not in a homegroup as it would appear under network locations... how do you do that...

does it show anything under properties? right click the laptop in list and see if it gives us a clue as to how its connected. Figuring out how you did it might help figure out how to remove it.

Nothing happens when I double click it. just a few moments of the loading symbol.

I don't know how you did it, one idea was a mapped network drive but it has no drive letter and they appear in the network locations area, not among the drives. http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/map-network-drive-windows-10

I don't suppose it shows in disk management as you can hide drives there, but I bet its not that easy. Search cortana for disk management and it should be the only choice though its called Create & format Hard disk partitions to be difficult. - http://www.thewindowsclub.com/show-hide-a-drive-in-windows

Does it also show in settings/Devices/Bluetooth and other devices - then in right column, under Related settings, click Devices and Printers - this is where i would expect to find a laptop even if its not attached. I wonder why my mouse thinks its a keyboard... nvm

you can make mapped network drives appear as local - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/40367-42-make-network-drive-local-drive

found how to delete it if it had a drive letter - http://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-remove-network-locations-mapped-drives-windows-8

Strange to me it even shows in file explorer with no drive letter attached. That is usually enough to stop things appearing there.

Found nothing in "Devices". However on Searching "SUSHRUT" through Cortana, there it was with "Desktop App" as its label. On going to the file location. This is what I found -

and then following the trail, I came upon the following ".exe" file -

on opening the file I get this error -

in settings/devices again, choose more bluetooth options in right column, and see if any com ports being used, Might turn discovery off (Mine is already).
does it disappear if you turn bluetooth off?

the shortcut in 1, does it have any properties if you right click it?
how did your trail lead to 2? that appears to be your bluetooth program that came with your PC - is this a laptop or do you have wifi card attached?

- COM ports are blank
- Right Click > Open file location (That's how I reached 2)
- Its a laptop with the Intel (R) wireless Bluetooth program installed.
- Right clicking the program > properties
