    How to delete a network place ?


    Discovered awhile back that one of my W7 PC's in my home network had "joined" a Win 7 HomeGroup inadvertently:
    Can't leave unwanted Homegroup ?

    While successful in this thanks to Seven Forums help...I now can not access the subject PC through the normal home network. I keep getting an access denied pop-up which hadn't occurred before ?

    see attached network screen shot

    I'm trying to delete the one problem computer shown in the Network - MARYANN-PC - hoping that re-establishing it without the HomeGroup membership will solve the issue...?...but I can't figure or find a way to delete/remove MARYANN-PC from the network ?

    How can I remove this one desktop so I can re-joint MARYANN-PC to the group ?

    Thanks...TR

    I had the same problem. Microsoft decided to make this difficult for non-advanced users:

    1. Open a command prompt
    2. Type "net use" (no quotes) to see a list of networks
    3. Type "net use /delete" (no quotes) and the exact name of the network from the list you just generated.

    A more detailed explanation is here:

    I don't think the connection trinaz showed is a mapped (net use) connection.

    If not, try this:

    Click Start
    Type View network connections then click on View network connections at the top.
    Right click the connection you want to get rid of and click Delete.
