Problem removing USB drive network folders

[fridayshoes]

I inserted a new USB into my GL iNET 300M to use as a network share drive. I then realised that I wanted the drive to be exFAT instead of the FAT32 format it came in. So I removed it, reformatted it on my PC as exFAT and put it back in the 300M.

Now when I access the 300M over the network, I see two drives listed, the OLD FAT32 drive alongside the new exFAT drive.

Only the exFAT drive is read/writable, the FAT32 one is almost like a ghost drive and doesn’t let me do anything to it.

Does anyone know how to remove it from being shown?

Think this is the same question as mine

External Storage AR750S-EXT - (Slate)

Ok new to all this Unix/Linux stuff. Trying to work out external storage nomenclature. Hokay, played with a bit so original issue gone. Now understand what the situation is. sda2 is a “leftover” drive from when I first put in an SD-Card with two partitions on it. I have reformatted the card into a single partition and as such should only have sda1 but sda2 is a leftover. How do I remove this “device” sda 2 that doesn’t exist anymore?

Yep got it, that helped a lot.

I modified the file /etc/config/samba by opening the file in notepad and removing the old USB entry, then rebooted the router and it was gone.

Thanks
