Windows 10: can't delete network share

It seems that there is a zombie network share connected to my windows account. The share Q shows up in the explorer as "disconnected" but when I click on it, the share opens up. I tried to disconnect it with the right-click context menu but that did not work and the explorer still list the share as "disconnected" even after the explorer open it up I when into the command prompt and issue "net use" but the drive is not in the list. What am I missing here to remove that share?
