Yes, in my experience, we shutdown the networker service and
edit /nsr/res/nsr.res.
Remove incorrect loaded slot, barcode and label.
It's could be risky.. But if we know what we're doing..
I don't think so.. :D

Subject: [Networker] Re: [Networker] NSR sees a tape, which isn´t there

In Networker Version 7 of nwadmin, by following media-->devices-->show details,
the "Loaded Devices" window allows you do do normal add/delete/change.
It has three windows -- loaded volumes / loaded bar codes / loaded slots.
Underneath it all, there's still a res file but in a subdirectory and with
a file that has an inscrutable name.   (you _could_ edit it after shutting down
Networker, but that is risky, I agree.)

Shut down Networker.   If you're using versions previous
