Windows 10: Partition Find & Mount software left a ghost virtual disk volume behind

I tried this software called "Partition Find and Mount" out two days ago. At first, I tried thorough scan, which was quite long it is a 1TB external drive, but in the end it found a deleted partition I needed. Tried to mount, program crashed not responding. I thought that was it, mounting was unsuccessful and it's a useless piece of ****. So I uninstalled it, and started doing something else. I didn't realise. I didn't notice, until it was time to shut down the PC and go to sleep, that there was a new volume mounted to the system. It had files in it, and it was labeled with the drive lette

Can't remove Hyper-V Virtual Hard Drive partition

Hi Robert,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you are facing an issue when you are trying to remove the Hyper-V Virtual Hard Drive partition. This partition is just a virtual partition that is created by using the space within your physical hard disk, so that
it can be used within Hyper-V. Since you are no longer using Hyper-V and you wish to remove the Virtual Hard Drive partition, I would suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it is helpful to you.

Steps to remove the Virtual Hard Drive partition using Disk Management:

1. Press the Windows key and
   R key, this will open the Run dialogue box for you.
   
2. Type diskmgmt.msc and press
   Enter, this will open the Disk Management Window for you.
   
3. Your Virtual Hard Drive will be indicated by a ‘blue’ drive beside the
   Disk n (n is the disk number to which the VHD is associated), select the allocated
   Volume, right-click and select Delete Volume. You can check the picture below for your reference.
   
   
   
   
4. You will receive a prompt, click on
   Yes. This will delete the volume allocated to the Virtual Hard Drive and the space allocated will now be turned into an
   Unallocated space.
   
5. To detach the Virtual Hard Drive completely,
   right-click on the Disk and select Detach VHD.
   
6. You will receive a prompt, you may click on the check box to
   Delete the virtual hard disk after removing the disk. Click on
   OK.
   

This will remove the Hyper-V Virtual Hard Drive partition from your system.

If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to post your query in IT Pro

TechNet forums, where we have support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge on the issues with Hyper-V and Virtual Hard Drive to assist you with your query.

Mount superfloppy formatted SDmedium

My camera makes "superfloppy" SD sticks so uses one partition without a MBR or GUID partition table. How do I get my pictures off this SD device? The device is listed in the Disk Manager but no drive letter is assigned. In the diskpart volume list it is
not listed.

Before you ask: yes the dvices is formatted and the camera and another camera sees the pictures. In windows disk manager ( a misnomer, I have no disks in my computer) the dvice is listed ok but cannot be mounted.

Is there thirdparty software that can read superfloppies?
