These are "features" of the new themes.

Making sure none of the drives are connected, I'd suggest deleting
anything in /media/ which refers to those drives. The underscore
mountpoints are used when a name already exists, i.e. there is a
conflict. Also check /etc/fstab to make sure the "old" mount points
haven't been made permanent by the upgrade procedure.
