ISO image still visible after unmounting

Hi, I can’t tell if this is a bug or intended behavior, so asking about it here.

If you mount an ISO using Dolphin (by right-clicking and choosing Mount), the ISO is added as a “drive” under devices.

If you then do right-click and choose “unmount” on the device, it unmounts, but the icon sticks around until you reboot the machine.

This seems strange compared to how USB drives are handled- you mount them, and when you do “safely remove drive”, it removes it from the list of “removeable devices” immediately.
