How to unmount an Azure File Share

I've got a Windows Server VM on Azure. I also have a File Share. According to the MS documentation, one can mount the drive using the following command:

net use <drive-letter>: \\<storage-account-name>.file.core.windows.net\<share-name>

This does indeed work.

Unfortunately, the documentation makes no mention of how to unmount the storage...

Does anyone know how to do this?

Solution

  • To unmount a File Share drive, simply use:

    net use <drive-letter> /delete

    This will detach the drive.
