Drive letters not avialable for network mapping in Windows 7

I have a Windows 7 workstation that shows to have a removable device connected to drives H, I, J etc..  I am guessing someone removed a usb device improperly and the drive letter is still associated with it.  How can I remove these drive mappings so I can use those drive letters for network mappings?

I have tried net use H: \D and its still there.   Can I just delete the registry entry?

as in an external device?
Well, could be a usb device, or builtin
Not that i see.  How can i be sure?
yes it has an internal card reader but there are currently no media cards inserted.  
There you go, the internal card reader has those drive letters
Hmm so i guess I can just disable the device and to retain them?
