Everything should not add a volume twice; provide a mechanism to remove folder/volume.

[Raindrops]

I experimented with the Index > Add volume > Add folder... menu.

My laptop is connected to four external HDDs.
I selected one of them for this purpose.

To my surprise, Everything ended up showing the same HDD twice in the folder tree!
If Everything searches in both identical copies, there's time penalty and also duplicate results!

Desired:
Everything should not add any volume/folder twice.

Secondly, now I want to clean up the folder tree by removing the redundant copy of the HDD.
But there is no menu system or context menu for that.

Desired:
There should be a function to remove a volume/folder from the folder tree
Please provide a menu item and a context menu.
The add volume and remove volume commands are related, so they should be placed adjacent to each other.


BTW I was also having a concern that this remove function should not end up deleting the folder/volume.
The label and tooltip of this function should make it clear that it will NOT delete the actual folder/volume.

Everything has multiple indexing methods.
Currently Everything won't stop you from indexing an NTFS volume as "NTFS" and as a "folder".
I will consider showing a warning here, eg: Are you sure you want to add C: as a folder index? -it is already indexed as an NTFS volume.



I have put on my TODO list to add a "Remove volume" menu to the main Index menu.

I also have on my TODO list to make this easier from the Folder Sidebar.
eg: Right click volume -> Remove from index.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Thanks.

But what is a safe method to remove my duplicate volumes, without deleting the HDD contents?

Tools -> Options -> Folders -> Select folder -> Remove.
