Folder thinks it is Removable Storage

I have a Bluetooth folder on my device that shows up as removable storage when looking at the file properties. I would like to just delete it, but that option isn't available. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? Do I need it??

What device do you have? And what exactly is a "Bluetooth folder" -- a folder where files sent by Bluetooth get saved to?

On Windows Mobile devices, I've seen folders get created called "Storage Card" (usually because somebody removed the storage card while a program was running that needed to write to it), but that doesn't sound like your problem.

I see the Bluetooth folder on my WM6.1 devices - it is where files that are transferred from a bluetooth connections devices go. There's really no reason to delete the folder.

Yes, I am running WM6.1 on a Dell Axim X51v. I guess I am just confused as to why it shows up as a storage drive when you check the Memory. It has no space allocated to it, so I thought "why not delete it?". I rarely use Bluetooth for file transfer, so it doesn't seem like a big loss, and it gets rid of one of those annoying little things that make obsessing about your device so fun!

Go to wireless manager, select Settings > Bluetooth > FTP tab > remove checkmarks in the boxes there.
