Have Everything "forget" previously indexed external disks

Post by soaper »

I get search results showing up for two previously scanned disks that are no longer online. How can I have Everything "forget" about these disks?

I cannot add them to the exclude list because the exclude operation requires the disks being plugged in so that they can be viewed in Windows Explorer, and I no longer have the disks.

And again, thanks so much for this great tool.

Are you sure you don't have them included as a Folder or similar?

You're right, they were listed under Local NTFS volumes because Automatically include new fixed volumes was checked. I unchecked that option and removed the volumes, and I am no longer getting stale results. Thanks so much.
