Unfortunately, that’s just the way iOS works. (you can’t “forget” a network unless you are “in-range” and can “see” it)


FYI:


However, if you are so-inclined, you CAN delete ALL saved networks. (meaning you’d have to re-enter all the credentials for networks you desire to continue using).


This may - or may not - suit your needs. Use w/ caution.


Settings -> General -> Transfer or Reset Phone -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings
