Uninstall Ricoh device's

I have 2 Ricoh devices on my system I'd like to uninstall, and can't find anything about removing these.

Ricoh MMC Device
and a
Ricoh SD/MMC disk device

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks

That's a memory card reader. Do you have a card reader connected to the system? If you have a printer, does that have a card reader?

If it's a laptop, is there a card reader built-in?

Do you have any memory card reader devices installed?

No memory card reader, I'm thnking it might have been some software update that installed them.

Have you connected a Ricoh camera or other Ricoh hardware device at any time recently? No automatic software update should have installed those items.

It doesn't have to be a Ricoh-branded device either. Ricoh makes the reader chipset.

The only thing I've used is a ex-hard (USB) drive. But I've used it before with no problems.

Who is the manufacturer, and what is the model number of the computer?

Who is the manufacturer, and what is the model number of any printers that have been attached?

Laptop is a dell studio 1750
Printer is a Epson RX680 connected wireless. Printer is connected to a HP desktop that does not have these devices.

Why do you want to uninstall these?
Maybe someday you'll get a card reader and then you'd be all set if you just left them there.

You can probably disable them if you feel the need.

The Studio 1750 should have a built-in cardreader, so almost certainly the entries are to do with that. Why do you want to remove them?

Are you sure that's a Studio 1750? Dell only goes up to 1749 in their Studio Laptops pulldown.

The Studio 1750 certainly exists:

I thought you checked that. *sigh* We could have been done with the exercise already.

If you don't want to use the card reader, go into the bios and disable it. Done and done.
