Windows 10: Can't Remove Network Location from File Explorer

I have an application that when installed, also created a network location in File Explorer. It was mapped to an S:\ drive and named Workplace. That application has been uninstalled, however, the network location is left behind. I can't delete it. I figure it needs to be removed from the registry, I just don't know where to look.


Thanks for any help,

File explorer - adding a FTP site as an Network Location - BUGS

When attempting to add a FTP network location in File explorer There are problems

If using an ftp site normally when specifying the website, I can enter it as

L: ftp://test01:*** Email address is removed for privacy ***
This works fine

• 
  But as many sites now use the full email address as the sign on Then
  

ftp://*** Email address is removed for privacy ***:*** Email address is removed for privacy ***

will not work as the parsing of the string above confuses because of the multiple @ signs

• 
  So as an alternative I specify the site as
  

L: ftp://*** Email address is removed for privacy ***

then right click on the network location name under “This PC”

and “Logon as” gives the dialog box where I enter The UID
L: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

and the password and click save password

This works OK BUT when I create a second Network Location test02 with the same as 2 above Then

• 
  When I open test01 and access it ok then close File explorer and then Open new File explorer and click on network location test02 I go to the test01 site. Whatever was the last site accessed is what is opened. The only way out is to
  always use the “logon as” feature
  

Summary – problem 1 is the parsing of the ftp string, Problem 2 is file explorer goes to wrong site

 

Cannot Remove File From File Explorers Recent Files List

I'm using Windows 10 and have always been able to remove files from the file explorer's recent files list. The file is listed as FileProvider and it is located in the ThisPC/downloads directory. Any other file is readily deleted from the list by the usual
procedure. This file is not. Any suggestions?

THANKS
