Searched on the web and couldn't find any topic (answered or not) devoted to this obvious issue I'm facing, possibly due to lack of Samba config experience.
I'm able to mount and work with Archlinux shares from Linux PC on my Windows PC in Windows Explorer. But after unmounting a volume on Arch PC, its Samba created share remains available on the network and still visible in Win Explorer - Network as a shared drive. Its still browsable, but of course now empty. Only when Samba is manually stopped in Arch or Arch PC is shutdown, and Win Explorer window is closed and reopen, the Arch shares are no longer visible.
Is there a way to configure Samba or Arch to stop sharing or showing a shared folder to other PCs on the network, when originally mounted in the shared folder volume was unmounted in Arch?

I realize that Windows has its own issues with updating current validity or availability of Samba shares. But if we forget about Windows for a moment, is there a standard way to hide or delete Samba shares on a client ArchLinux machine, when the source device file system was unmounted from the shared folder on the server? How it can be configured or coded as script?

Any config or script suggestions to hide empty Samba shares?
