Issue/Introduction

This article details removing a PGP Virtual Disk from the shelf in PGP Desktop.

 

Resolution

When a PGP Virtual Disk is unmounted, you have the option to remove your disk from displaying in the PGP Disk control box of PGP Desktop. NOTE: Removing the PGP Virtual Disk from the self does not delete the virtual disk or its contents.

To remove a PGP Virtual Disk from the PGP Disk shelf:

 

1. Open PGP Desktop and click the PGP Disk control box.
2. Select your PGP Virtual Disk. If your disk is mounted (shown with an orange PGP lock icon), right-click the virtual disk and select Unmount.
3. With the disk unmounted, right-click the PGP Virtual Disk and select Remove from Shelf.

The virtual disk is removed from the PGP Disk control box.

You can add PGP Virtual Disks back to the shelf by searching for the disk within PGP Desktop or by dragging and dropping the file from Windows Explorer to the PGP Disk control box.

Finding PGP Virtual Disks

If you created PGP Virtual Disks using previous installations of PGP Desktop, you can easily find these volumes using the PGP Disk Search Assistant.

To find PGP Virtual Disks on your system

 

1. In PGP Desktop, click the PGP Disk control box. The PGP Disk main screen is displayed.
2. Select File > Scan for PGP Disks. The PGP Disk Search Assistant dialog box is displayed.
3. Follow the instructions displayed in the assistant.
