Recently I uninstalled some VPN software from my system because I was not using it anymore, but the virtual network adapter created by the software was not deleted automatically. When I tried to remove the network adapter from the list of adapters, the delete option was grayed out.
Remove unwanted network adapter in Windows 11/10
After a lot of troubleshooting, I was finally able to remove the network adapter from my Windows 10 system. In this article, I will list all the different methods you can try, starting with the easiest and moving on to the more technical ones. If you have to edit the registry, make sure to backup the registry first.
So, specifically, this is the problem I was having. I opened Control Panel, went to Network and Sharing Center, and clicked on Change adapter settings. When I tried to right-click on the adapter I wanted to remove, the Remove option was unavailable.
The first thing you can try is to open Device Manager (click Start and type Device Manager), expand Network Adapters, and then right-click on the network adapter you want to remove.
