For the Microsoft Windows 8 users, there is a very easy option to delete any specific WiFi profile by just doing the right click on the profile and choosing the option “Forget this network”.

- Open administrative Command Prompt and run following command to get a list of all the wireless networks to which your system has made the connection.
- Simply Press Windows+R >>> Type cmd >> Press Enter
- Type>netsh wlan show profiles press enter.
- It will show you all network profiles.
- Find the profile you wanted to remove and use the command as below, replace profile name with the name of the profile you wanted to remove.
-
netsh wlan delete profile name="profile name"
For example, suppose you wanted to remove a wireless network profile named MyWiFi then you should type as follows.
netsh wlan delete profile name="MyWiFi"
