How to get rid of a Network Folder??

Hello again, let's try it like this. It is similar to the top solution, but I think it will solve:

Solution 1: Use File Explorer to delete mapped network drives

In order to delete mapped network drives using Windows / File Explorer, follow these steps:

1. Right click Start then select File Explorer or press the Windows button + E
2. Choose Computer (or This PC, which is your case as I saw in your photo) on the left panel
3. Look at the Network locations for mapped drives
4. Right click on the mapped network drive you want to remove/delete
5. If your mapped drive is on a network location, right click and select Disconnect. If it is on a network folder or FTP site, right click and select Delete.

Once you do the above, the mapped network drives should disappear, or stop showing on your computer.

Solution 2: Use Command Prompt to delete mapped network drives

In order to delete mapped network drives using Command Prompt, do the following:

1. Right click Start button
2. Select Command Prompt
3. Type: net use drive letter/delete (for example, if you have a drive mapping using letter G, type net use G:/delete)
4. Press Enter

Once you do the above, you will receive a confirmation that the mapped network drive has been deleted successfully.

The mapped network drive will also disappear from your Windows/File Explorer immediately.

Note: this will only work for mapped drives with an assigned letter. If you have a network location mapping, like FTP or web servers, this solution will not work.

This is what I get when trying Method 2:

Daniel,

thanks for your response. I don't see a "Tools" menu or "Map Network Drive" in File Explorer (see below).

I'll try Method 2;
