    Network Folders and Removal


    Under "Network" in Explorer LH pane, I see the name of my computer and folder icons with a wee green symbol on the bottom.
    Some are no longer valid but how can I remove them? There is no Delete option with r-click.
    Thanks.

    Could you provide a screenshot, preferably a closeup of a folder icon with the "wee green mark"?

    Thanks!

    I think the 'green thing' indicates Network folder. When attempting to explore some of these an error "... is not accessible..." and "The device is not ready" show.
    In which case I'd like to delete them, as the paths no longer exist. You would expect the r-click menu to include a Delete option, but there isn't one.

    No, a mapped drive I think appears under "ThisPC". These show under Network-MyPCName. There are both existing and non-existing entries and it's the latter I want to remove.
