When trying to map a network drive to connect to my Research Data Server the error message pops up that "The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect....first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share". However there are no existing mappings to be disconnected, I have tried to find the supposedly previously mapped drive in Powershell as well as just in file explorer, but I cannot find anything except the local hard drive(C:). Does any one have any idea how I can find and delete the existing mapping if I cannot find any evidence that it exists?

Hi,
Check the Control Panel > Credential Manager under the Web and Windows tabs.
See if the entry is there; you can delete it, or create a new one and test it.
Please consider rating the question (accepting the answer or not) and visiting the Microsoft Q&A community if you have further questions.
