Phantom drive/recordings

[aedgington]

Using BMT recently turned up a lot of 'phantom' entries in my Wiz, namely a drive that was removed and the recordings that were on it.

How can I get rid of these?

Show it an empty drive with that drive letter. Until it sees that the drive is online and the recordings are gone, it will assume they still exist and the drive is just offline temporarily.

I've tried that, using a USB key, and it doesn't work... or does it take a while?

[GKusnick]

Just plugging in a new drive while Sage is running may not be enough to trigger an immediate cleanup. Try restarting Sage (including the service, if you use it) with the empty drive connected.

Also, it's not just required to have the drive letter, but the entire import path that was originally specified in sage. (just create the empty folders on the thumbdrive).
