How to Remove Network Credentials in Windows 10
104How to Remove Network Credentials in Windows 10.
If the cached network username and password are causing issues, follow these steps to completely remove network credentials in Windows 10.
When you first log into a network share, Windows can store those login credentials in the Credential Manager. This is called caching network credentials. Since the login credentials are already available in the Credential Manager, Windows will not prompt you again for the network share password or username. This makes the administrator or network user's life easy as they don't have to enter the username and password each and every time to access the network folder.
