I have very little experience with linux, so maybe this is a dumb question :)

I run Ubuntu 24.04 on a machine, and I had an old HDD in a usb-case which I mounted using fstab. Worked fine, but I decided it wasn’t appropriate for my purpose and removed it (physically and from fstab).

But it still shows up in the file manager? What am I missing?

    Linux or not, never just yank out a usb. That’s a good way to end up corrupting it. Always unmount/eject before removing!
