CAT port ghost

I hope someone can assist me regarding the removal of unused COM port.


I experienced a computer crash while SSDR was running. When I rebooted, CAT was corrupted. When this happens to me, CAT opens with COM 5 and a new port one number above what I have set up. In my case, I have COM ports 4 - 15 set up. After the crash CAT has only COM 5 and a COM 16 is created. When I follow the directions for removing COM 16 from CAT, then using the COM arbiter to remove all ports, and then replacing CAT file with a backup, COM 16 is no longer in my CAT file, but does not disappear from computer COM ports. With the CAT backup file reinstall COM 4 - 15, COM 16 continues to exist as a ghost. Is there a way to remove a single ghost COM port without having to remove all and recreate them.


Windows 10 OS

SSDR is latest 3.4.24

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
