    With USB Oblivion traces of connected USB devices can be removed.
    It is a portable application and no installation is needed (but administrator rights are needed)
    Before the program is run, it is recommended to eject all connected flash drives.

    Yep, this app kicks tail sweeping off the USB connection devices history. I like it and use it as another part of keeping the system free of that leftover debris.

    Thanks mood for the post.
    I downloaded and ran it on three of my computers and I think it may have fixed a problem that I have had for years.
    Too early to report success but I will get back to you.
    Thanks again.:)

    If I enable write caching on specific USB device, will this tool remove this setting?

    What was the problem as a matter of interest?

    Hi
    I was holding off reporting because the "fix" is too new but here goes.
    At least 3 of my computers don't like USB 3.0 devices. I get the message that I need to format the drive. This includes external drives as well as flash drives. The message is bunk and I have convinced my self that they are fine.
    I have tried my best to search thru Google with no result since Google doesn't seem to understand what I am asking.
    Well, yesterday I ran USB Oblivion and no longer get that message.
    If anyone has any comments, I would appreciate them.

    Your download will start shortly...

    The SIMULATE function is a excellent feature!

    usboblivion-1.12.1.0

    Ran this the other day on someones Vista PC. On rebooting the desktop came up with a black background, & there was a message in the right lower corner saying. "This computer is not activated" Well it has been for years !

    Tried several System Restores with no success. Also tried a REG trick to no avail !

    What actually worked was, using BleachBitPortable to do a thorough clean.

    Previous versions i used didn't screw things up, so it might be just this one ?

    CAUTION

    ISSUE: BE ADVISED!!

    On Windows 8.1 (perhaps other versions) USB Oblivion if CLOSE EXPLORER is checked in SIMULATE mode, the GUI is active but will not reload. I had to manually BROWSE to the FOLDER where I keep PC Hacker and START EXPLORER.

    IMHO this program might be helpful if they included a simple RESTART of explorer instead of just close.
