How to free drive letter #22

Open stefanunz opened 6 years ago

stefanunz commented 6 years ago

When shadowspan fails the drive letter seems to be blocked (Error: device allready exists)

Is there a way to release / unmount that drive letter? Maybe by killing a task?

My instinct would be try running "subst /d X:" with X being the unwanted drive letter, but I can't say from experience.
