=== Delete Wi-Fi network profile ===


When you no longer need to connect to a particular wireless network, the access point is no longer available, or you need to reset the network profile settings, you can use the netsh command-line tool to delete any profile stored on your computer.

To delete a Wi-Fi profile on Windows 10, use these steps:

  *     Open Start.
  *     Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.
  *     Type the following command to delete a network profile and press Enter:

  netsh wlan delete profile name="WLAN-PROFILE-NAME"

In the command, replace WLAN-PROFILE-NAME with the name of the wireless profile.

For example, this command deletes the tsunami profile:

    netsh wlan delete profile name="tsunami"

{{ :microsoft:cli:08_netsh-wlan-delete-wifi-profile.jpg?700 }}

After you complete the steps, the wireless profiled will be deleted from the device. If you need to reconnect, you will need to go through the connection process again, and you will have to provide the network password as necessary.
