Default Delete trusted location which is greyed out

The list of trusted locations, under Trust Centre, includes an entry which is greyed out because it refers to a non-existent location. I am unable to select it for deletion.




It refers to a drive which no longer exists, so it would be very difficult to recreate it.


Is there any way of deleting the entry (otherwise I will just live with it)? Using Office 2007 on Windows 10.

This is not hurting anything. You can ignore it.
You could map a folder as that drive letter, create the subfolder, and then remove it from trusted locations, but why bother? Then you would unmap the drive.

Thanks to you both for the suggestions.
In fact, the idea of allocating a drive letter worked quite easily and only lasted for the duration of the current logon.
