You wouldn't know what is inside the package until you are told what it is, would you? You wouldn't know what the contents of the package are for. Think of the unspecified device as a wrapped, unlabeled package given to you. Windows would not know what device-specific options to offer when you right-click an unspecified device because it does not know what this device really is, without a driver installed. In short, an unspecified device is an uncategorized device and it is treated exactly as that. The unspecified device would appear as "Other Devices" in Device Manager with an exclamation mark next to it, while SPECIFIED/KNOWN devices will be listed under the appropriate category such as "Disk Drives, Modems, Network Adapters etc). Windows has no way of telling whether the unspecified device is a printer or a mouse, until an appropriate driver is installed and the unspecified device is configured to use the driver.
Windows will only categorize a device that is installed. You cannot delete something that does not exist as a deletable object, can you? Any device that hasn't been installed and has been plugged in will appear as an unspecified device. The device is yet to be installed and categorised (as a printer), so it cannot be deleted. Click to expand.The unspecified device cannot be deleted/removed/uninstalled because it is NOT YET INSTALLED and therefore doesn't exist as a deletable device.
