I have a W7 machine with a Western Digital My Book Live hooked up to it. To get to my files, I click on MYBOOKLIVE under Network and I have 4 shortcuts there

Public - my files of porn
Smartware
TimeMachine
TimeMachineBackup

I want to delete these bottom 3 as there is nothing in them and I don't use them. They are bugging the gently caress out of me. Right clicking them, there is no delete option. I am logged in as a Admin. I've tried safe mood reg and with networking and no go. Google is also failing me. They use to not be there and then I did something a while back that made them pop up. I think I may have enabled TimeMachine on the drive as I just checked and it was enabled so I disabled it.

Any ideas?

Looks like it comes pre-loaded on your device and I'm sure the manufacture took steps to ensure you cannot remove it. TimeMachine is meant for Apple Mac OS for backup purposes. Check out page 27 (http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/UM/ENG/4779-705103.pdf)
