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?

    When you mount something into a directory that already exists, the drive mount replaces the original contents. When the drive is unmounted, the original contents are restored.
