Manually removing stored Wifi networks

I saw several unanswered questions related to this when I was trying to accomplish this task. I found an answer.


Settings -> WiFi -> Edit


brings up a list of all of the WiFi networks / passwords stored on the device. You can hit the “-“ symbol in red to delete a specific network.

Quite correct - but only if the iPad has been updated to iPadOS16.x.

For earlier versions of iOS/iPadOS, you can only delete an individual WiFi network when within range - or through resetting network settings which will delete all WiFi networks from the device:


iOS/iPadOS16 and later

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset Network Settings


iOS/iPadOS15 and earlier

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
