How did you setup the mounts in the first place? If they are in your /etc/fstab file, just edit that file &amp; remove those entries you no longer need. You can also delete the according mount points. A reboot &amp; everything should be fine.

Besides &nbsp;/etc/fstab also check if automount is active possibly it needs an adjustment as well.

<div>
To unmount the nfs shares for the current session only, as root:<br>umount "MountPoint"

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
