Clear saved network credentials in Windows 11 or Windows 10

When you try to access secure network shares on the network or start a Remote Desktop session, you are prompted to save the passwords.

If you have checked the option to remember your login details, Windows will save your passwords for the next connection. If you have accidentally entered the wrong data or the data is remembered for whatever reason, you will always receive an error message.

It is then advisable to delete the saved login details for the network connection. This data is stored in Windows. You don't even have to delete them directly, you can also edit them or add login details. This is how it works.
