    Hi Faith Browning,

    Do you receive any error message when you try to disconnect the network drive?

    I would suggest you to try disconnecting the network drive from Safe mode with networking.

    Step 1: To disconnect the network drive from Safe mode

    a.    Use F8 while restarting the computer.

    b.    Under Windows Advanced Boot Options menu, select Safe mode with networking and press Enter.

    c.    Once you login, click on Start.

    d.    Right click on Computer and then click Disconnect Network drive.

    Step 2: To disconnect network drive using the command-line utility

    a.    Click on Start; in the start search type cmd

    b.    Right click on cmd.exe and choose to ‘Run as administrator’.

    c.    Type  net use x: /delete, where x: is the network drive letter of the shared resource

    Hope this information is helpful and let me know if you need any further assistance.
