    File Explorer shows NAS twice

    Hi Fred,

    Shared folders or libraries appear on the File Explorer by design. Try following these steps and see how it goes:

    1. Open File Explorer.
    2. Select the library where you want to remove a folder.
    3. Tap or click the Library Tools tab, and then tap or click
      Manage       library.
    4. In the dialog box that appears, select the folder you want to remove, tap or click
      Remove, and then tap or click OK.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
