    It seems this is a bit of a dinosaur that takes us right back to the numerous .ini files that existed under Windows 3.1. The Microsoft engineers might have forgotten to include a suitable management tool for such connections.

    VPN and dial-up details are kept here:

    C:\Users%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Network\Connections\rasphone.pbk

    To delete an existing connection, use notepad to open the above file, find the unwanted name, then find the next square bracket [, then delete everything in between. You have to log off to make the change stick.

    Thanks for your suggetion but this was working for me!!!!

    However, this one worked for me:

    1. Open "Network and sharing center"
    2. On left side click on "Change adpater settings"
    3. You will get all created VPN connections and you can delete what you don't need by right click and selecting Delete option

    This did not work for me, but I right clicked on the VPN and created a shortcut to the desktop, then right click and "choose file location" it will show you all of your VPN connections to right click and delete there.
