I kept trying to “hide empty or removable drives” for months with no success. I then noticed I had turned on “show hidden files folders or drives”. The “show hidden files folders or drives”, needs to be turned off or it overides the “hide empty or removable drives”. Hope this makes sense. Both of these are located in Tools>Folder Options>View
