You'll probably find you don't have the privileges to delete Setting contents... and even if you can, you shouldn't as it won't gain you anything. Reformatting the whole device isn't viable either and you won't end up with one (very) slightly bigger partition.

Yes, Reader is the only useful partition and that's how it's designed to work... the other two drive letters become active (as you surmised) when containing memory cards... enjoy your reader...

So I think I'll leave it alone and just ignore it.

READER appears to be the only useful partition.

When I do the "Safely remove hardware" function, removing one drive removes all four. So they aren't adding any extra steps. They just look weird.
