How to hide inactive HDD's in "Folders" window?

Post by dimitrius1000 »

I connected couple friends HDD's and now I'm see them greyed with question mark in "Folders" window.
How I remove them from the list? Screenshot attached.

Thanks!

OK but is there a way to temporarily hide the indexes of offline drives without permanently deleting those indexes? Please forgive me if it's something really obvious and I'm just oblivious to it.

There's currently no option to hide offline volumes in the folder sidebar.

I have put on my TODO list to add such an option.
Thank you for the suggestion.
