Opened up my Macbook Pro this afternoon and the 'Remote Disc' icon was displayed in my Finder sidebar under devices. Since I don't do sharing, and the icon wasn't there this morning, why would it show up?
MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.1)
Remote Disc appears if another Mac on your network has an optical disc drive and is advertising disc sharing services: System Preferences... > Sharing > DVD or CD Sharing > select.
The Mac advertising sharing services may or may not be yours.

Have you tried dragging it out of the Sidebar?
You have to drag it out, then pause until you see an X appear, then drop.
It is for you to share from that Mac. It is for you to connect to another computer that has a CD/DVD drive.
You can hide it using Finder Preferences, Sidebar.
Barney-15E,
I have a 15" MBP produced from June 2017 and running OS Sierra 10.12.6. I have unchecked all the boxes listed in
Preferences>Sidebar and I still have the Remote Disc showing in the Finder sidebar. Other than Hiding it, any other
thoughts on how to get ride of it?
