How to delete PDO created with IoReportDetectedDevice?

NTDEV
1

Hello,

in my driver, I call IoReportDetectedDevice to let the PnP manager create a root-enumerated PDO.

Once my driver is finished, there is no need for that PDO/devnode any longer and I’d like to delete/remove it.
It should not persist across system boots.

How can I do that?

Thanks.

You can’t delete it. IoReportDetectedDevice is not a substitute for
writing a bus driver or having an application install a root enumerated
device. Once reported, it lives on its own independently of the driver
which reported it.
