Hey everyone! I've got a couple of local disks on my PC—Local Disk (D:) and Local Disk (Z:)—that are completely empty and just take up space on my screen. They're kind of annoying me, and I want to figure out how to get rid of them. Any tips on how to delete them?

You can delete those disks by using Disk Management. Just right-click on the Start menu and select Disk Management. From there, you can right-click on the disks and remove the drive letters. They should disappear after that!

CuriousCat21: I tried Disk Management, but my local disks aren't showing up there. They do show in a different program, like WinDirStat. Any idea why that might happen?
