How To: Removing/Forget a Network

When you connect to a new Wi-Fi network it is added and stored in a list of profiles.  

If you're having issues with a wireless network, forgetting it and reconnecting will often solve the issue. Also, if you are connected to a network and you don't want it to automatically connect anymore, forgetting it will stop that behavior.

The following instructions guide you through the process of deleting a wireless profile that is no longer needed.
