How do I unmap a disconnected network drive in Windows 7?

Question

The drive is disconnected, and I'm off the network. How do I unmap the drive?

This seems like it should be a simple procedure, but I'm missing something. My Google-fu is weak today...

I can't test this here as I'm not on a network, but I think it's a case of doing this:

Right-click Network in Windows Explorer.
Select Disconnect network drive....
In the list that appears, right-click the drive you wish to remove and select Remove.

I think it's something like that but as I say, I can't test it here.

On the command line (substitute your drive letter for z):

net use z: /delete

	You don't even need to type in delete, you can get away with just del. Look at how much quicker you can disconnect! – Mitch Dec 1 '11 at 19:30
