    remove old computers from network


    Hi, I followed some suggestions about removing old computers from my network but without success. I would know the reason why windows is displaying computer names that have been deleted years ! ago. Why I'm not able to delete them? Is it available a method without resetting the all network? Why some things are so difficult to implement in windows?

    Thanks

    :)

  2. how do i remove old computers from my network?

    Hello BigBoox,

    To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

    • Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:
    • Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
    • Click OK.
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Verify if you're concern is regarding Homegroup. If yes, have you tried performing the steps below to remove old computers from your network:
    • Press Windows key + E, then go to Homegroup.
    • Select your <computername> and click on "Remove <computername> from the homegroup" link.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.

    Can't remove a networked computer

    Hello all, can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere on the forum. I appreciate any help you all can provide.

    I'm running Windows 10 and in the files explorer window, on the left under Network, I have an old computer listed as a networked computer. It does not show up under Homegroup. I want to remove this computer but can't figure out how to do that. Note the
    old computer no longer exists on the network at all (it was disassembled/smashed by an 8 year old!).

    Any clues on how to remove this as a listed option under network? Thanks.
