Linux Mint--I've unmounted an ISO, but it still shows under Devices in the File Manager. How can I remove it?

I mounted the ISO through VLC, by right-clicking and choosing VLC as the application to open it.

I unmounted the ISO by right-clicking on the icon on the desktop and choosing unmount.

The ISO still shows under Devices in the file manager after I unmounted it, how can I remove it? The ISO file no longer exists.

Thank you.

Does it show up in Disks? Try the power off button in there if it does

No. But, thank you for the idea.

Gnome glitch. If it doesn’t show elsewhere, you’re fine.

Reboot if it bothers you but it’s harmless.

Restarting fixed it, thanks.

Unmounting does not mean the device gets invisible. You could still mount it again by e.g. clicking it. Still it is unmounted and safe to be removed. Disconnecting the device from the system makes it disappear but that is not required for unplugging/ejecting.
