Although the latest laptop models usually include all sorts of connections so you don't have to buy any accessories, it's likely that if your PC isn't high-end or you've had it for a while, you have a few accessories connected to it, such as a mouse receiver, an optical drive, a printer, a Bluetooth USB adapter, etc. All these devices are configured the first time you connect them to the computer , and once configured, you can use them until they either break down or you decide to upgrade to a better model. In these cases, to keep your Windows 10 PC more organized, the best thing to do is remove them before putting it away.
Delete connected device in Windows 10
- First we go to the Windows 10 configuration, click on the Start button and gear wheel.
- Within the Windows configuration options, we will click on the second option that is named Devices.
- In the following menu, the different types of devices that we can connect to our PC will appear on the right side, be it a mouse, a company or scanner, a keyboard ... We will click on Connected devices.
- In this option we can try to add devices that the PC does not detect. But it also allows us to eliminate the devices that we have connected at that moment. Once we are clear about the device we want to delete, we will click on it and we will go to Remove device, located in the same box of the device to be deleted once we have selected it.
- Once the device is removed, we can proceed to disconnect it from our PC. If we want to reconnect it, we just have to reconnect it so that Windows 10 automatically detects it and installs it again.
