You can't remove it. It's just a computer the Mac detected on the network you are currently connected to.


It's not harmful and can be ignored, unless the Mac is connected to your own Wi-Fi network, and the device is not one you recognize as belonging to you or someone else that normally uses your Wi-fi network.
