Why bother drying your water tank, unless you are traveling with it? It's meant to hold water. Water droplets from washing won't cause mold if you are refilling and using it daily.

They might cause water spots if you have hard water. Who cares?

Wash it, shake out the water and put the water tank back in your machine. I think it would be just as fine if you (wash it if you must) then shake out most of the water and refill it every morning, so it's ready for bedtime.

When packing my machine, I empty the tank and stuff a new paper towel inside.
No rubbing, patting or fussing--which may dislodge fibers.
On arrival, the damp paper towel can be used to wipe down anything dusty.
Waste not--want not.
