The normal problem is how to mount your USB stick, now I have the opposite problem. I have a USB stick and a memory card visible in the plasmoid for discovered connected devices. I can open them and the content is there. They are munted under /media and I can umount them but ... they are not connect to the machine! They are visible regardless if I reboot.
They are visible in lsusb

How do I get rid of them?
edit: well just to add to the confusion, there is a disk visible that ... is not connected, the second disk is not there... when I mount the FAT volume it turn s up as EPKMUST which is also the name of the USB device? Is this the cached version of the USB stick?

solved, I used cfdisk to remove the partitions on /dev/sdb. /dev/sdb is still there as a 1Gb disk but at least the shadow USB and memory stick are now gone.
ok, ok it's not my day today, in the back of the machine there was a USB drive
I thought it was a BT device since I always (well not always) add usb sticks to the front :-)
so lesson learned, look in th back as well :-)
