"Ghost" Network Adapters in Win 10 Device Manager?

[BonzaiDuck]

I'm still getting acquainted with Windows 10.

Through much blood, sweat and tears, I have set up a dual-boot system of Win 7 with Win 10.
I have eliminated all the red-bang Event Log errors in both OSes, and any yellow-bang warnings that I can. Anything that remains is just a "benign warning."

I discovered in this learning process, after installing and removing, or simply swapping an SATA or NVMe drive, that I had "ghost disks" reported in Device Manager under "disk drives." With the kind advice and assistance of another member, I removed these. They had been "hidden drives" -- revealed by choosing "Show hidden devices" in DM "View." They unmistakably indicated drives that had been in the system, but had been physically removed.

Now I also discover that I have "ghost" network adapters. Here are the ones that are not hidden or "grayed out:"

Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V
Kaspersky Security Data Escort Adapter
Microsoft ISATAP Adapter
Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter
Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface

Here are the ones which were "hidden" and appear as grayed-out "ghosts:"

WAN Miniport (IKEv2)
WAN Miniport (IP)
WAN Miniport (IPv6)
WAN Miniport (L2TP)
WAN Miniport (Network Monitor)
WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
WAN Miniport (PPTP)
WAN Miniport (SSTP)

[Bold versus not-bold is "analog" to the icon appearances.]

I might feel comfortable deleting "ghost drives." Now I'm wondering what to do with these eight "ghost" network "adapters." I did nothing to put them in DM -- they were just "always there" before I checked "Show hidden devices."

Should I just leave them alone? Could someone offer a decent explanation as to what they "do?"

Those are MS built-in virtual network adapters. Leave them alone.
