Need to delete computer from my Network for Win 10. When I hooked new laptop LENOVO-PC to the network, it shows up on Explorer/Network as LENOVO-PC but I renamed it, to just "LENOVO" now I have TWO.
LENOVO
and
LENOVO-PC
How do I delete one??

In another post, this site, it says is in "MY NETWORK PLACE" but no can find in WIN 10

Hi, find a shortcut to Command Prompt.
Right click on it and choose Run as administrator.
Type in these commands:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

You might have to sign out (or reboot) for the changes to take effect.
