Disable Mayflash DolphinBar within Retroarch?

I’m currently working through a mostly unrelated problem here:

It occurred to me that I might want to request help regarding my Mayflash Dolphin Bar separately from the above thread. Currently Retroarch detects four Mayflash devices and assigns them to ports 1 through 4. I use only the main Dolphin emulator and not a libretro core. I would prefer to hide the Mayflash devices from Retroarch without disabling autoconfig functionality entirely. Is there a way to do this?

The only other topic that looks close is this one:

The solution given is to use an older Github program here:

However, I think it does this permanently at the Windows level. I’d rather it be disable for just Retroarch. Any suggestions for how to do this? One idea I had was to simply delete the autoconfig file for the Mayflash device. Would that work?

it’s worth a shot, at least
