Rearranging your network profiles can be a priority for some, as it helps you manage things much better.

Step 3 – Manage wireless networks
When the “Network and Sharing Center” window opens up, click on the “Manage Wireless Networks” option located towards the left side of the window.
Step 4 – Removing a network
With that done, the manage wireless networks window will open up. Over here, all the networks that have been added will be displayed. For removing a wireless network, right click on the connection which you want to remove and click on the “Remove network” option from the menu.
