WD Smartware CD Icon

Hi - I just started using my WD external hardrive as a Time Machine backup on my Mac.  It’s working fine.  But I have an icon on my desktop for the WD Smartdrive CD.  When I eject it, it reappears.  How do I get rid of it for good?

Do I have to delete of these files from the Hardrive?  It’s only 229.7 mb but I just don’t want it showing on the desktop.

Help - thanks in advance for any suggestions.

That’s a Virtual CD, you can remove that with a utility from the WD Web site

That utility allows you to enable or disable the VCD.
