Question:
My emulator has more drives than my real device. How do I remove these?

Answer:
In order to remove a drive, simply remove the relevent entry from the emulator initialisation file.

Each virtual drive is specified using the keyword _EPOC_DRIVE_, followed immediately by the letter for the drive, a space, and the location on the PC file system it maps to.

On current Symbian OS SDKs this emulator initialisation file is located in the /epoc32/data/epoc.ini. From Symbian OS v9.0, the relevant file is /wins/estart/estart.txt. If this file does not exist you can create an empty one - which will remove all virtual drives. You can restore the default drive set by removing the file.


Note:
For instructions on how to create new virtual drives, see Symbian Developer Library at » Developer Library » Tools and Utilities » Emulator » Emulator configuration » How to configure virtual drives.
