Windows 10: Trouble removing media devices on my computer

Ever since they removed the home group function on windows 10, I havnt been able to edit my media devices of my computer. I have a couple of shows and movies on my computer but for what ever reason it won't let me remove them. Says my tv is still connected to it even though its unplugged. Do you have a any tips to try and get it removed??

Remove Devices

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while removing the device from your Microsoft account as it keeps popping back after removing.



It could be possible that the device was using OneDrive with the same Microsoft account and that might be the reason you are able to see the device listed under your profile. I would suggest you to remove the device from OneDrive
and see if that helps.



You can follow the steps to remove the device from OneDrive.

1. Login to
   https://onedrive.live.com.
2. Now on the left hand pane click on PC’s.
3. Now click on the devices that are listed under PC’s and on the right hand side click on
   Remove PC.

If the issue persists, please get back to us with the results of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.

Workgroup Computers are displayed as Media Devices

I have several Win10 computers on a "WORKGROUP" network. Network location is set to private on all machines with network discovery and file and printer sharing activated. Two computers are listed as workgroup computers and two as media devices. What do I have to do in order to get the media devices to show up as workgroup computers?

 

Disable/Remove Media Devices from the Network (WMP?)

Hello Rex,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Try the below steps and check if they helps

• Click Start, type Media streaming options into the search space and select the same from the list
• Go to Show devices on, then select All networks from the drop down menu.
• Click on the Block All box.
• Select any one that you want to remove, click on its Remove link, and click on
  Remove the device to approve. Go on until you remove all that you wanted.
  
• When finished, click on OK.

Open This PC, right click on any left (one at a time), and click on
Remove device again. Let me confirm that this will only remove them from your
This PC window. If in case these media devices are still connected to your network, then they will always appear in your Networks folder since they have been detected.

Keep us posted for any concerns with windows, we're glad to assist you.
