Virtual CloneDrive hijacking USB drives

Question

I installed Virtual CloneDrive in Windows 7. With Windows 10's ability to natively mount ISOs, I had no need for it. I un-installed it using Revo.
Revo said a file couldn't be deleted, but would be deleted at next reboot.
I rebooted, and I think the file was deleted.
Anyway, for the question:
Whenever I plug a USB drive in, It either has the Virtual Clone Drive icon, or a blank page icon like this one:

Sometimes, I will randomly get the Virtual CloneDrive drives showing up in this PC. The USB drives also mount slower. I have not been able to test with an external hard drive. Internal drives show up fine.
How do I reset the icons, and more importantly, how do I scrap every last bit of Virtual CloneDrive from my system.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

On my a Windows 10 computer I had installed Virtual CloneDrive. When I no longer needed it I uninstalled it. Then after installing the Windows 10 2004 update, my external USB enclosure showed the hard drive as a Virtual CloneDrive. My solution was to reinstall Virtual CloneDrive and then uninstall it again.
Start button → ElaborateBytes → Uninstall Virtual CloneDrive.
