    Delete "hidden network"

    Hi,

    Deleting or Blocking available networks can only be done using Command Prompt. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Command Prompt.
    • Type netsh wlan add filter permission=block ssid="WLAN name"
      networtype=infrastructure (Replace WLAN name with "hidden network" or the name of the wireless network you want to block) and press
      Enter.
    • Close Command Prompt.
    To remove/delete the network from the block list. Replace "add" with "delete" on the command in step two.

    Looking forward to your response.

    How to delete old network interfaces?


    So I'm having trouble working with the latest Docker release and it is complaining at me that it can't create a network interface called 'vEthernet (DockerNAT)', because one already exists (true, I have upgraded the version and one did exist previous to that upgrade).

    I've had a look using NetworkInterfaceView (NetworkInterfacesView - show network adapters/interfaces information), and I see a number of old (disabled but not deleted) network interfaces:

    However I can't find any way to delete these old interfaces; I've uninstalled HyperV and rebooted - still there.
    I tried registry hacking but made a mess and had to restore from a backup (the listing was gone, but the CLSID was used elsewhere I guess and it's still causing issues).

    So; any ideas?

    delete an old network

    Delete saved Ethernet Networks

    Hello,

    To delete unwanted network profiles, we can try doing it from the Control Panel first. Here are the steps:

    • Search for Control Panel using the Cortana search box.
    • On the upper right part of the Control Panel windows, type network.
    • Under Network and Sharing Center, click View network connections.
    • Right click on the unwanted network from the list on this window and select Delete.
    • Once done deleting all the unwanted network connections, restart your PC.
    Make sure that you are running the PC as the administrator before proceeding with the steps above.

    Let us know how it goes.
