Windows 10: Available Wifi Networks List

I had an extender with two networks 2.5ghz & 5ghz but I no longer use the extender. So in "Manage Known Networks" I did "Forget" on both to remove them, which it did in that list, but they still show up in the "Available Networks". The extender is not plugged in and is not longer broadcasting so why are the networks still showing in "Available Networks"? Any help would be appreciated.

I ran the command



I went away and made a pot of coffee then came back to the computer, checked that two minutes had passed and ran the command again



and I then clicked as soon as I could on the Taskbar, Network icon to bring up the list



and I also ran the NirSoft WiFiInfo tool I mentioned earlier to show relative signal strengths.




Are you getting a lot of fading in & out of WiFi signal strength by any chance? Are you on 2.4GHz or 5GHz? Is fading what's leading to the symptoms you see?
You can monitor fading by watching the Taskbar, Network icon or by using NirSoft WiFiInfo tool, which I find easier because [as in my illustration] it can be sorted by signal strength so you can see networks flicking up & down the list.

So that's the same behaviour that I see and which I regard as normal behaviour.
