Disconnected Mapped Drives don't go away!

$

I manually mapped a network drive to a file server.  I then manually disconnected it, but it's still there but with a red X. I cannot get rid of it; I cannot use the drive letter for anything else; I cannot reconnect to it.

I remember this happening occasionally in Windows 7, and I fixed it then with a reboot.  But I am now in Windows Server 2012 R2 and it's happening.  It seems odd Microsoft would make a supposedly enterprise level  OS that required a reboot or some command line hack to do what it's supposed to do.

Anyone got any tricks to get rid of this thing?  Being an office server, I really can't reboot it it whenever I want to disconnect a drive.

Thanks,

Jeff
