how to remove a shared computer

The easiest & fastest way is this.

Go to "Setting-->Sharing"

There is "Computer name" section. In there, go to "Edit"

Change that "local host name"

Tried this. Had my 'Share file and folders...' already unchecked. I checked it, applied the changes, then unchecked it and applied changes. That did the trick. Hope it helps others.

A simple soulution to fix this is to go to system prferences and click on networks and go to the bottom and click on advanced and uncheck "Remember networks this computers has joined

Thanks!! This helped me!!

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.

I did uncheck that box, and I clicked "ok," however when I checked again (by going to System Preferences,) the other network still showed/shows.

yay! helped me! Gone is my old HP computer that has been lurking on my finder for 3 years now.. thank you
