Windows 10: How to forget the previously saved networks in Windows

How to forget all the previous networks in windows. i.e. in the picture uploaded, I want it to display as Network 1 and not Network 270. The thing is every time I connect my mobile to my pc to access the internet, a new network is created, therefore it is showing such a big number 270

Forget a WiFi Network

Hi Jess,

Windows 10 saves a list of Wi-Fi networks you connect to along with their passwords and other settings. If you want to manage or delete a certain network, just follow the steps provided below:

• Type Settings on the search box.
• Click Network & Internet.
• Click Wi-Fi on the left pane of the Network & Internet window.
• Click Manage Wi-Fi settings.
• Select the network name and click Forget.

Note: Since you can't remember the network name you've connected with, you can consider forgetting all saved Wi-Fi networks on your PC.

Let us know how it goes.
