After installing and uninstalling TeraBox, the Terabox entry may remain under “Devices and drives” on This PC. It may look like a ghost storage entry, as in the following screenshot.<\/p>\n

\"terabox<\/p>\n

Or it shows “Double-click to run TeraBox,” but nothing happens when you double-click it.<\/p>\n

\"terabox<\/p>\n

Cause<\/h2>\n

This issue is caused by a leftover namespace key, which we’ll see how to remove.<\/p>\n

You can prevent this issue by unchecking the “Show TeraBox in My Computer” option before uninstalling it.<\/p>\n

Remove Terabox from Devices and Drives<\/h2>\n

To remove the phantom drive caused by an incomplete uninstallation of Terabox, please do the following:<\/p>\n

Option 1: Using a REG file<\/h3>\n

Download run terabox_remove_device.reg<\/a> (zipped). Click Yes to confirm.<\/p>\n

\n

Here are the contents of the above REG file:<\/p>\n

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00\n\n[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\MyComputer\\NameSpace\\{679F137C-3162-45da-BE3C-2F9C3D093F64}]\n\n[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Classes\\CLSID\\{679F137C-3162-45da-BE3C-2F9C3D093F64}]\n\n[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Classes\\CLSID\\{679F137C-3162-45da-BE3C-2F9C3D093F64}]<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Option 2: Using admin Command Prompt<\/h3>\n
Alternatively, you can open an admin Command Prompt<\/a> and run the following commands to remove TeraBox from Devices and drives.<\/p>\n
reg delete \"HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\MyComputer\\NameSpace\\{679F137C-3162-45da-BE3C-2F9C3D093F64}\" \/f<\/pre>\n
reg delete \"HKCU\\Software\\Classes\\CLSID\\{679F137C-3162-45da-BE3C-2F9C3D093F64}\" \/f<\/pre>\n
reg delete \"HKLM\\Software\\Classes\\CLSID\\{679F137C-3162-45da-BE3C-2F9C3D093F64}\" \/f<\/pre>\n
If you get the error “ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.<\/em>” for one of the above commands, ignore it and run the next command.<\/p>\n
That should remove the phantom entry from devices and drives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
