Powershell script to remove hidden devices

Question

I implemented the SetupDiRemoveDevice() functionality. It removes the device from the system, but Windows still thinks the associated COM port is "in use". The next enumeration goes to the next higher COM number instead of the expected number.

How could I tell Windows to start reigstring the COM Ports from number such as 0.

Thanks.
