    Can't remove disconnected (ghost) network device

    Thanks for the suggestion, but it can't remove the NIC:

    how to remove ghost files [​IMG]


    It's the only Intel I219-V that shows up in the device list of the DeviceCleaner program (it shows only non-present devices as I understand). Otherwise, the tool works - I found a ghost replica of the integrated GPU (Intel HD 530) and could remove it. Only the NIC gives this error message on removal, which is probably the reason I can't remove it the normal way through the device manager.

  3. Removing Ghost Printer

    I have exactly the same problem. I think it is just the entry in the list box that is the ghost item. But how to remove it?

    ghost file on desktop

    Hello Bruce,

    Thank you for your continued patience on this issue. I would like to assist you further.

    If you are unable to remove the file using Explorer, I suggest you to try delete the file using the command prompt. Follow the below steps.

    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
    • Now browse to the folder where the file is located. You can go to the root of the drive by typing in cd /, followed by
      cd foldername to navigate into directories. Once you are there, type in
      dir to get a listing of all the files.
    • To delete a fie type del “filename”

    Hope it helps this time.

    Thank you.
