Can't kill a disconnected network drive

[boe]

I have a client who takes her laptop from office to office. She runs a
batch file to connect network drives. When she goes to the next office,
she runs a batch with all the drive letters net use j: /delete etc.

If you look after running the batch file - it still shows the diconnected
drives.

If you run a line manually to delete the drive it returns - The network
connection could not be found.

You can't right click to kill the drive. What should I run at the command
prompt to complete eliminate the previously mapped drive?

Thanks

I suspect you're mapping drives in different logon sessions or perhaps in
the background as a scheduled task. Furthermore, you should turn off
persistency by entering just once this command, then reboot the machine:
net use /persistent:no
