FORGET THIS NETWORK?

I have a new router, so I want to delete all of the prior wifi networks that appear in my Wi-Fi setting. When I go to the Wifi settings and select these older networks, I do not have option to "Forget this Network". I have even reset my Network Settings.. but when I come back to Wifi, the old networks are still appearing.

iPhone X, iOS 15

Forget this network only applies to WiFi networks that you have previously tapped on and told your iPhone to use. It causes your iPhone to no longer automatically connect to those networks, and forget their WiFi passwords. But they will not disappear from your list of available WiFi networks. Any available WiFi networks within range will appear in that list.
