Windows 10: How do I remove a Hidden Network

In an effort to be more secure I created a hidden network that is not allowing me to connect to any hotspots, how do I remove the hidden network

:)

 

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.

Delete "hidden network"

I have a network named "hidden network" in my list of wireless networks. This network is not mine and it is not secured. (it is marked as Open)

I want to remove the risk of accidentally connecting to this network, as I do not know what it is.

Secondly, I want to remove it because it is there and it should not.

So does anyone know how to remove it and/or prevent it from being a possible choice?

The network is not showing under the "Manage known networks" in the Network & internet/WiFi section.

The network is not showing in the list produced by the Command "netsh wlan show profiles" executed from an administrator Command prompt.

The only place I see this Network is in "Show available networks"

One more detail: In the "Show available networks" list, this network is shown with a shield icon containing an exclamation point.

Help to remove this network entry would be much appreciated.

Kind regards
