Ok i will check, that's only a bit strange because for the first test i only used a "stupid" txt file (and i also reset my Sam before doing anythings), for the test without any file (only plug and unplug) i did the same, so i really can't understand what can be the cause of the lock you suggestIcons should stay on the workbench if there is still a lock of some kind on the volume or one of its files. You don't necessarily have to have a file open. If you have a program that can list locks (I believe Ranger can) check whether there is still alock on something

Re: Storage Devices (Icon bug)
I haven't been able to replicate this one for ages, but by chance (and whilst reading this thread!) I removed my transcend memory stick that had been inserted since boot and the icon remained on the workbench.
Checking with Ranger does indeed report a lock.
Key 0x54a2c5do Access Read DOS Type FAT(2) 0x46415432
No indication on what is holding the lock at present.
[update]
Double clicking on the icon, caused it to disppear rather than ask for the volume to be inserted as I expected

Re: Storage Devices (Icon bug)
Booting with the transcend inserted a second time. And opening a similar combination of windows / apps produces no lock and removal of the stick causes the icon to disappear as expected. The occurance of this bug is random to say the least!

Re: Storage Devices (Icon bug)
Problem still annoying us even on latest AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition ... atleast using CD audio ...
Easy to replicate:
1 - Just insert and then playing an audio CD (with TuneNet or whatelse you prefer)
2 - Then close the audio player
3 - Finally eject the CD
--> CD icon still in Workbench desktop
Beside the issue, how about adding an Eject/Dismount option in context menu ?
Atleast we can may try forcing the eject things manually
