How do I remove a shared device from my Mac

My Mac shows a Shared wireless device that I know is not mine. How do I delete a device that seems to be sharing my wireless network?

MacBook Pro, iOS 10.3.1, How come I can't choose 10.11.6?

How to hide computer on network in finder sidebar? I'm using a shared network and I'm seeing unknown devices in my finder sidebar under 'locations'. Clicking for info returns nothing. I've read something about bonjour signals, but I'm not sure what that is. What I want to know how to do is prevent my own devices from appearing in other peoples' 'locations' section, or elsewhere. Not just to prevent access to the contents of the devices, which I think turning off all sharing options ensures, but to prevent the visibility of the device there itself. Any solutions? Thanks.

Network View I have an iMac (macOS Catalina) When I check Preview/NEtwork....I see someone else's iMAC. I'm in an Apartment who provides free-wifi. Should I be concerned? I have nothing checked in the sharing file.

Constantly prompted to share password with my macbook pro even though I'm no longer near the wifi network I was visiting some family and I connected my iPhone to their wifi. I then connected my macbook to their wifi. Now I'm back home, away from my family's house and I am constantly prompted on my iPhone to share the wifi password with my macbook. I've tried: hitting "share password" hitting the `x` turning on and off wifi on both devices forgetting the wifi on the macbook Nothing I do makes this dialog go away. I still _want_ this feature, so I want to keep it on, but I want this instance of the password sharing to go away. Any ideas?
