Removing old iPhone location from iMac's Location list

Under the Apple menu (top lefthand corner on iMac), the Location list is showing iPhone11PMax as a choice. I have not owned that phone in years, how do I remove it?

Locations pre-configure the Mac’s network settings to easily operate differently based on different network requirements at varying usage locations. (very useful for in-field support applications)


(e.g. Home WiFi, Office LAN, Customer X PLC #2; Customer Y VPN, Pre-Assigned Static IP “99”, etc. )


The “iPhone 11 location” was possibly created when you once used your prior phone as a WiFi hotspot.


Locations can be managed and deleted from: System Settings -> Network -> More (3 dots) -> Locations -> Edit Locations
