    How to delete an ethernet connection?

    Just as title says. I have some old ethernet connections in my list, and I would like to delete it to clean.

    Any suggestion?

    We appreciate the information you've provided. We'd like to confirm the results after following the steps on the link provided on our previous post.

    Meanwhile, to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check the following:




    • If the Ethernet port is clean.

    • If the end of RJ45 (Ethernet cord) is still intact.

    • If available, test the RJ45 (Ethernet cord) to your other device and check if issue persists.

    We look forward to your reply so we can assist you further.

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



    We would like to ask additional information that will help us in resolving the issue.

    • Have you tried troubleshooting the issue by yourself? If yes, what were the steps you have taken so far?


    I would suggest you to try the following and check:
