How to delete cached temporarily credentials for a network share on a Windows machine without rebooting or logging off [duplicate]

To delete all network authentication

C:\> net use * /d

To view current network connection

C:\> net use 

IMPORTANT NOTE

I tested in Windows 7 SP1 64 Bits, 100% WORK

After run the command, you need to go to task manager delete the explorer.exe , then reopen the application again.

To open the application, go to RUN, enter explorer.exe

Now you are fully clear the connection information in the session.

I know this is old, but in case anyone reads this in the future....

The next time this occurs I have found the best way to get rid of the credentials is to open an elevated command prompt and type in:

net use \\server\share /delete

then type in:

klist purge

I tried it with both command individually and they do not work alone. You have to first remove the connection if it exists. Then remove the Kerberos authentication ticket from the machine. I had an incident like yours where the connection no longer existed but the Kerberos ticket had not expired yet, so when I went back in and had not logged off of the machine it would use my previously entered credentials. By purging the ticket it prompted for credentials again.

Go to the control panel -> User accounts -> click on your name -> to the left click on "credentials" (or manage your credentials). All the used network credentials will be there.

The following should do what you want.

C:\> net use \\server\share /d
C:\> net use \\server\ipc$ /d
