VDS_S_ACCESS_PATH_NOT_DELETED

VDS_S_ACCESS_PATH_NOT_DELETED warns that VDS could not delete every access path associated with a volume. Access paths include drive letters and mounted-folder paths, and open handles can delay removal until restart even when the request has otherwise progressed.

Enumerate the paths that remain

Call QueryAccessPaths after the operation instead of trusting the requested removal list.
Identify open handles or services using the drive letter or mounted folder.
Distinguish an immediately removed path from one scheduled for removal after restart.

Deleting the volume object or changing a volume flag does not guarantee that user-mode mount paths disappeared. Residual paths can keep scripts and applications pointing to an unexpected target. Record each path before and after the operation, and do not assign the same drive letter elsewhere until VDS reports it free.
