每次将USB 连接^(USB)到计算机时，它都会创建注册表项并留下痕迹。在一段时间内，我相信您可能已经将许多不同的USB或闪存^(Flash)驱动器连接到您的Windows计算机。每次您这样做时，它都会创建不同的注册表项。

擦除旧连接的^(Erase)USB驱动器的所有痕迹

大多数此类痕迹通常留在以下注册表项中：

• 系统控制集
• CurrentControlSetControlDeviceContainers
• CurrentControlSetControlDeviceClasses
• 软件MicrosoftWindowsShellMuiCache

所有这些痕迹都堆积起来，甚至注册表清洁工也可能会错过它们^{(All these traces pile up, and even registry cleaners may miss them)}。

这些条目可以让其他人查看哪些USB驱动器已连接到您的 PC。Nirsoft的^(Nirsoft)USBDeview 是一种可以让您轻松做到这一点的工具。它是一个小型实用程序，列出了当前正在使用的所有USB设备以及之前在您的计算机上使用过的设备。^(USB)

然后可能会出现一点，从隐私的角度来看，您可能想要删除这些痕迹。^{(A point may then come that from a privacy point of view, you may want to delete these traces.)}

适用于 Windows PC 的 USBOblivion

USBOblivion 是一款便携式免费软件，旨在从 Windows注册表中擦除 USB 连接的驱动器和CD-ROM的所有痕迹。^(CD-ROMs)第一次运行USBOblivion时，请确保未选中Do real clean框。这只会扫描您的计算机并列出条目。这是操作的测试模式。

确定要清除痕迹、移除或断开USB 驱动器^(Drives)后，选中Do real clean框并单击Clean。默认情况下，保存备份.reg文件复选框处于选中状态。这很好，因为在从注册表中删除痕迹之前，它们会以.reg^(.reg)文件的形式进行备份，该文件保存在用户的Documents文件夹中。如果您觉得有必要，您可以随时使用此备份恢复已删除的密钥。

USB遗忘下载

您可以从此处^{(here)(here. )}下载 USB Oblivion 。它在我的 Windows 10 64 位上运行良好。请记住^(Remember)首先创建一个系统还原点，以便您可以在需要时还原您的计算机。

您可能还想查看GhostBuster。它使您可以删除 Windows 中旧的、未使用的、幻影的、隐藏的设备驱动程序。^{(You may also want to check out GhostBuster. It lets you remove old, unused, ghosted, hidden device drivers in Windows.)}

Remove traces of old connected USB Drives from Windows PC

Every time you connect a USB to your computer, it creates rеgiѕtry entries and leaves traces behind. Over a pеriod of time, I am ѕure yоυ may have connected many different USB or Flash drives to your Windows computer. And every time you did sо, it created different registry entries.

Erase all traces of old connected USB Drives

Most such traces are usually left behind in the following registry keys:

• System\controlset\
• CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceContainers
• CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses
• Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache

All these traces pile up, and even registry cleaners may miss them.

These entries can let others view which USB drives had been connected to your PC. One such tool that lets you do so easily is USBDeview from Nirsoft. It is a small utility that lists all USB devices that are currently in use and those which have been previously used on your computer.

A point may then come that from a privacy point of view, you may want to delete these traces.

USBOblivion for Windows PC

USBOblivion is a portable freeware that is designed to erase all traces of USB-connected drives and CD-ROMs from the Windows registry. The first time you run USBOblivion, make sure that the Do real clean box is unchecked. This will only scan your computer and list the entries. This is the test mode of operation.

Once you are sure that you want to clean the traces, remove or disconnect your USB Drives, check the Do real clean box and click on Clean. By default, the save backup .reg file check-box is selected. This is good, as before removing the traces from the registry, they get backed up in the form of a .reg file, which is saved in the user’s Documents folder. Should you feel the need, you can always restore the deleted keys using this backup.

USB Oblivion download

You can download USB Oblivion from here. It worked just fine on my Windows 10 64-bit. Remember to create a system restore point first, so that you can restore your computer, should you feel the need to.
